T-mobile Voice Quality
 

I have a quick question for all T-mobile users: :evil3: When you make phone calls while on an EDGE connection, do you notice a slight background hiss and the words occasionally miss and/or skip. I ask this question for a reason because I have an SIMM unlocked Sprint Touch Pro2 (Thanks PPC Geeks for all your good information :salute:). Last night, I bought an pre-paid T-mobile SIMM card to try out their service and noticed a poorer voice quality than Sprint. I've been considering switching to T-mobile so I could get my hands on a HTC HD2. I understand you need a GSM cellular provider and AT&T is not even a consideration (My mom has them and they are horrible in NYC area). Is there any voice quality difference between EDGE and 3G connections or could my phone be the issue?

If T-Mobile does the same thing as At&t, then everything is run at Half Rate codecs on EDGE. The phone does seem to make a difference though. With At&t, I've had some phones sound horrible on EDGE, and some sound really clear.

If T-Mobile uses 3G for voice like At&t does, then the calls should sound a lot clearer while using 3G compared to EDGE. The calls on At&t 3G are so much better than EDGE, its like night and day. Of course, if you're in an overloaded iPhone area like NYC, then At&t is known to be bad, but from what I've read, they've spent lots of money improving their network there over the past few months.

At&t has been good for me the past year that I've had them. Now that I have good 3G coverage, call clarity has been on-par with Sprint, but I'm also not in a heavily populated area.
