Call-Timer

Call-Timer can make your phone automatically hang up when your call reaches a configurable predefined time.

Why it is needed? Many network carriers or telecom services offer free calls for first 5, 10, 20, xx minutes. If you don’t want to monitoring the elapsed time and manually hang-up the call while talking, then you can have this application do it for you.
