In short, the carriers still use a Voice Codec from 1995 on their phones, when their networks and phones can use much newer Voice Codecs that provide noticeable improvements in voice quality while using less bandwidth.

Call it laziness or just stubbornness to go to the new codecs on the carriers' part. I wish they would implement the use of EVRC-WB as it can push 8 or 16 kHz sound with a comparable amount of bandwidth.
