Recently call quality on our normal mobile phone connections have severely degraded. (At least in the places I visit in NL and especially while in a moving vehicle.) I switched to using FaceTime audio and with the noise cancellation the audio quality is superb and I would t want to go back. So although I would love to use a minimal phone like this I would want to keep all the benefits of modern day audio connections.
- dleslie 5y agoIt's shocking to me how terrible regular cellular call quality is, when on the same network and device I access superior quality through WhatsApp.

- Handytinge 5y agoA significant quality difference is the codec. POTS calls are generally in some leg analog, meaning they scale down to about 8kbit. VoIP options have wider band codecs like G722 and Opus, allowing for 128kbit+.
