Hit End Call immediately, will the call pass through?

Ok, I accidentally pressed the girl's number while organizing my contacts and I hit 'End' immediately once the call screen pops up. It's just a second. Will the call pass through? Will she have a miss call or anything like that?

She's using 6 plus and me 5S. Just tell me, please.
 
I've done the same thing and not had the other person see a missed call, so my guess is it won't show up. But I can't swear that would be the case every time.
 
Does it really matter? If she calls back or sends you a text asking why you called just say you accidentally called when organizing your contacts?
 
It depends on the timing of how quickly the call connects. Usually there's a second or two before it does and that won't register as a call basically on the receiver's end.

I just fail to see the point of having someone's number and not being able to use it for fear they'll know that you have their number..

Well, I will second that.

To answer OP. I have had it happen both ways. As in, sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. Call and ask her!
 
Did you hear it ring? And what are you afraid of? Just tell her you accidentally called her. My best friend "butt dials" me all the time and she tells me, although often times I get the missed call badge.

I think the call goes through once it rings. That's how it registers. If you can hang up before it ring, then the call will not be see on their end.

My assumption here is that this is an ex and you don't want her to get the idea that you're trying to talk to her.

Like others have said, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But what's done is done. Don't worry about it.
 
Just tell her it was an accident if she somehow sees it. If it's the number of someone you probably shouldn't have then she probably didn't have your name saved anyway so she won't know who it was
 
It takes at least 5 seconds or so after clicking on dial for it to actually start ringing.

But FaceTime/FaceTime Audio is a different story; it's practically instant and the vast majority of the time they will get a notification for sure even if you hang up right away.

Guys, I was gonna delete the number, I just want to look at it one more time.
Anyway, thanks for your help, you guys. I guess I'm just gonna have to hope for the best and suck it up...
 
Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. The timing is variable. It all depends on how far into the sequence of events that create a phone connection the equipment has gone.
 
I just did a quick test. It took about five seconds after initiating the call for the phone I called to start ringing. I then tried calling again and hitting cancel after 4 seconds, and the second phone did not ring.

If you cancelled the call within the first couple seconds, I doubt she saw anything.
