Attempting a voice call in NYC in 2020: a thread.
Attempt 1: T-Mobile to T-Mobile: He sounded good to me on the Galaxy Fold (unlocked), but I didn& #39;t come through well on his end. Told him I& #39;d call him on the Verizon Razr.
VZ to T-Mobile WiFi Calling: he said I sounded great, and I love the Razr& #39;s rich sidetone as always ... but his voice sounded like he was talking through a helicopter. Eventually he started dropping words. We tried again.
Attempted a call over Telegram VoIP. Great sound quality at first, but too much latency/crosstalk. Eventually we both started dropping words. Abandoned attempt.
Finally, he went outside to a known good reception point for a final attempt. Back to T-Mo to T-Mo. Again, dropped words/drop-outs too severe to continue the conversation.
