If you have a smartphone, maybe you should somehow try talking into the transmitter even though the freaking thing is nowhere near your mouth. I am sick of trying to decipher these freaking phone calls, listening to the garbled mess coming through.

Call me, mine sounds fine.

Maybe you should tell the people on the other end of the phone, rather than generalizing and assuming. It's bad for business.

Also, you can't talk into the transmitter, it is only a radio and has no analog input. You'd have to talk into the microphone

A good bluetooth headset often works better than the mike on the phone.

how do you know, have you talked to someone who is holding your phone straight up and down as opposed to angled toward the mouth (i am assuming that is the problem or is it the microphones are just junk?).

I think it would be 'bad for business' if I told customers that I don't even know how to talk on a phone.

My girlfriend and I shared a phone for a long time before she got one that was identical to mine, I have never had any issues hearing her when calling from my office, and no one has ever complained to me that I sounded bad.

DH and I have 2 smartphones as well, and no problems or complaints either.

I would say that 1 in 20 people I talk to have a "dumb phone". I've never had issues hearing the other 19.

I wish I couldn't hear people on their smartphones. They walk outside and yakkity *** blah blah blah about the most mundane boring stuff and the sound carries into my bedroom and keeps me awake.
Or walk around stores, park their ass in the middle of the aisle where everybody needs to get by and stare at a product while talking loudly on their phone because they are too stupid to figure out which kind of bread to buy by themselves.
Honestly the surprise is that more people don't go postal.
