Wow! I see. I remember Viber sounding exactly the same. So this is why.
It's all digitally processed at both ends.

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.

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!
