For the "End the Call" translation/localization: yeah, "Bye" works since that is the more common phrase used to end a call. But we also have "Hanging up" ("I'm hanging up") as well, which is closer in terms of translation but isn't used quite often
[I hope I don't have to try to explain why the term 'hanging up' exists -- being old phones had cables and a lever switch to pick up/receive calls and disconnect at the end, and the phone itself would "hang" on its holder thingie while pushing down on the switch (this is for some designs of it, particularly for wall mounted versions or free-standing ones and especially for ones used in phone booths or pay-phones). I'm somewhat expecting current readers to be old enough to have some knowledge of older telephones, though I guess that won't really apply for future ones as the younger generations get older and maybe start picking this series up]

At this point, I’ve lost track of what I am reading.
