Network equipment

[Cloud2]

Has anyone noticed a significant drop in call quality lately. I noticed it just now calling within the public mobile network, rumored to be because Telus stopped using Huawei network equipment.  Not sure how true that is but never had any issues before.

While I don’t use the phone a lot. I have recently had complaints “when I call” that I can’t be heard. I’m on the $15 plan.  I’m in the lower mainland and the calls with issues are to Nanaimo and Winnipeg. But if they call me….no issue. 
Not sure what I need to do.

A five year old phone might not be VOLTE enabled.  

Might want to try your SIM card in a new phone to see whether that makes a difference.  That will help determine whether hardware issue versus PM service problem.

In my area, no change in voice quality.

Which model phone do you have?  Is it VoLTE enabled?  That could be a factor.

The network is something that is constantly being worked on.  Unfortunately, when changes are made, there can be issues.  I haven't noiced any difference of late.  A few years ago, I did notice that data services on the HSPA network had become rather unreliable, but since Public Mobile has started offering VoLTE, I no longer use that network.

Maybe you just need to reset your network settings and reboot your phone. That may work. Just know that by doing this you may erase any wifi and passwords and bluetooth devices.

If you find it getting worse, you can ask a CS Agent to reset your network on their end. You may need to have your phone off a while for this to work.

Their reply will be in the top right corner if you go that route.
