Cell phone calls are slightly laggy and barely understandable.

When I use my cell phone to make or receive calls from other numbers, they sound glitchy, laggy or aren't very clear. My cell phone speakers work fine for playing audio on videos and music. What could be causing the lack of clarity?

 @fricstix : I don't suppose you're in Manitoba? Reception issues? Everywhere? In a basement? Outages? Distance from tower?

I am in Ontario and my reception is 1-2 bars in my house

@fricstix 

Is the origin point of the places you're calling or getting calls from generally the same area?

Just trying to troubleshoot whether it may be a reception issue at the sending or the receiving end.

Perhaps try having that other person call someone else in your household to see if similar experience.

is the reception always like this or just started lately?

curious what Bell or Telus towers you see around your home?

It seems to have gotten worse recently with public mobile. It was a bit better with koodo, but still not good.

Last I checked the Telus towers were in the red for me where I am located. Rogers towers are slightly closer and Bell towers are the same distance as Telus.

@fricstix  Same issue where live. Switching cellular network to 3G, instead of auto/LTE, solves it for me.
