Does not hanging up keep the call open?

I'm sure it used to be the case, but does not hanging up the phone line still keep the call open?

I'm thinking in particular of junk calls - does it inconvenience them if you don't put down the phone?

Not sure, but if yo want to inconvenience them, just say, 'just a moment' put the phone to one side and go and have a cuppa.

That really pees them off.

With a landline, the person making the call can keep the line open by not hanging up. So it won't work for junk calls (unless you are making them).
