The session is on hold from the network if a handover is not successful or if you drive into a tunnel or out of coverage. Depending on the provider it times out after several minutes.
T-Mobile D for example keeps the old session open for 45 minutes - if your device reconnects to GPRS while this timeout the old session key will be used and thus no new connection fee should be charged.
