And I'd suspect the network more than any particular phone Brand/model.

She is continually complaining about quality of everything. Signal, voice, speed, you name it.

Same goes with my M-in-L and her iPhone. They both are happy with what they hear from me and from others, being completely happy with what they have. Now, when I borrow somebody else's iPhone to call her - the sound quality is great. When I call her on her iPhone from a land line, VOIP or diffeend brand of phone, I get the same ineligible sound.

I should mention that I also tried to clean my ears; and that I stubbornly refuse to convert to iPhone on religious grounds - I do believe that buying a phone every 2-3 years for $600+ for myself and everybody in the family just to solve 1990's voice quality problem is a sin.</div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><pre>
I suppose it's possible I put up with more because I work with this all the time, but I also work with this all the time and don't seem to have issues.
I have compared our signal and done some quality tests, all anecdotal, and found that my iPhone tends to have better signal, and in turn, better voice quality, than her Android.
But that's me, YMMV.
