Just like a Skype call sounds much better a Facetime call also can take advantage of the much wider bandwidth of a WiFi or 3G/LTE connection and also keep in mind that Skype or Facetime is digital all the way whereas a regular phone call is analogue and it is highly compressed.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris H Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2013 12:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Question about FaceTime and the hearing impaired Good evening all. Just had a lovely FaceTime call. But have a question. Why does it sound so much better than a regular landline or cellular call? Is it because it's all done over wifi and is using the excellent microphone on the iPhone? Sorry if this sounds a stupid question, but I am considering using FaceTime because despite my hearing impairment I can really hear the person, whereas a regular landline or cellular call is good, but cannot always make out what they are saying, especially if the words use letters that are high in pitch, such as s. Any responses greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing [email protected].
