Call drops are a way for mobile operators to make money as subscribers have to call repeatedly to finish their conversations. Every such call is charged fully. Also, like unwanted emails and SMSes, everyone is forced to hear unwanted messages like "call again" or "try again after sometime as the person you have called is talking to someone else" or "to avail of" such and such "service, press the star button".
There should be a way to stop such unwanted 'fraudulent' messages, which cost the callers. In fact, all such 'services' should be banned.
