depends upon phone model but I think GPRS data call is different from normal call so there should be no "CALL" sign, wht you must see is only square around "G" sign indicating that GPRS is in use.

those F****** CC blocked CC from 2 months and i remind them 15 times already to unblock they told
"sorry sir for your problem we will unblock it in 72 hrs"

still waiting for that 72 Hrs

and they also increased GPRS charge by 0.09 paise and still not informed
now 11.99 previously it was 11.90

Well, I happened to that image again which you have posted, its seems that its not a call sign, its "Lock" sign . shown being unlocked,
its usually their if your connection is part of some group, ie. like coperate plan and sometimes vendor allot you such plan even if you are individual jst to give u benefit of it and to get more customers.
Anyways..
You should not worry becz its not that "call" sign which you usually see while making normal call!
