poor sound quality on phone calls

When making calls, I can hear the other person really clearly, but they complain that I sound very broken up / under water / lots of whistles etc.

Has anyone else come accross this? Any idea where the microphone is?

Re: poor sound quality on phone calls

I believe the microphone is mounted in the roof light fitting. I have a problem in that the caller gets an 'echo' feedback through their telephones.

Re: poor sound quality on phone calls

I have had similar problems-all sounds fine to me but too quiet to them.

Is there a way of turning up the internal mic ??

mic is part of interior light...I have no problems but in some parts of the country (geographical locations etc) it is better than others.

Not sure why geography should affect a built in mic unless your suggesting that its a phone reception issues like on trains eg drop outs.

To me it seemed like the surrounding noise may be more an issue eg city noise or noisey road surfaces and that the ability to turn up the mic may help.

Re: poor sound quality on phone calls

Most of the calls I make are in the area around Slough and Aylesbury. Its really frustrating because it is crystal clear for me but the person on the other end gets the right hump!

Re: poor sound quality on phone calls

Really strange this, Ive been told by other people im calling that its the best mobile phone call theyve heard.
Said theres no background noise and its very very clear.

I wonder if it depends on what the phone is your using, cant see it, but like i say mine works great.
