it happens within the first couple seconds. you say hello, the other
person gets in hi, its so and so, then it happens. I hear VO say the
persons name, or number if not in contacts, then says 0 2 with i think
a double tap sound , then silence for a few more seconds, then the
person is back. i would say its more like five or six seconds. never
bothered to actually count. btw, i've only had it happen on an
incoming call.
