Have a look at the configuration of your phone for something like "Silence
Suppression". If it is turned on, try turning it off.

The problem is likely that when on mute, the RTP stream from your phone
is turned off because you are silent. After 5 min, the remote end thinks
you're not there any more. With Silence Suppression disabled, the phone
should continue to send an RTP stream containing silence. Hopefully!
