Note that a large # of switches NEVER deliver CPC. I believe SLC-type remotes do not as well.
Read the full replyI'm in the Northeastern U.S. (Verizon).
When one party hangs up the phone, how long does the phone company wait before sending a CPC signal to the other party? Does it vary from region to region/company to company?
Does 15 - 20 seconds sound normal?
Thanks,

In many parts of the country I've noticed that the called-party can put the receiver down on the cradle and run to another phone and successfully pick up the call there. The switch seems to give you a grace period on hanging up so you can do a "sneaker-net" phone transfer.
I suspect that it isn't CPC that's delayed but the end to end switch path is still intact for the first 15-30 seconds after the called party hangs up. You have to wait for the path to be torn down before the CPC gets sent.
