Are phone networks better where you're from? The audio compression on the phone network renders the sound quality/clarity inferior to a built in laptop mic in my experience.
- airstrike 5y agoI'm in NY currently but have dialed in from several different states in the US and the quality from the phone is always significantly better than VoIP
- Macha 5y agoI just have had a totally different experience then, I have to say. I associate people dialing in from their phones with high levels of background noise, both hissing static and actual background noise, and clipping/lost words. This includes coworkers in Europe and california. After all, the listener is receiving over VoIP, so you've got phone network issues layered on voip issues.
- lerax 5y agoIn Brazil the VoIP calls are tremendously cleaner than directly phone calls, no matter which service is compared (Discord, Meet, Zoom etc)

- ultimoo 5y agoJust want to add that I've had this exact experience with people using phone audio with the added variant of them losing cellular signal every few minutes.
- jcelerier 5y agoWeird, here (france) I made all my family's calls go through VoIP and voice clarity increased a thousandfold, it feels like going from a 1930 radio station to a CD
- Scoundreller 5y agoWhat’s the preferred service in France for that? Do you mean you set it up yourself with a particular SIP/IAX vendor, or just switched to free.fr or one of those providers?
