FFS MTN

I'm on MTN and switched my phone over to GSM instead of 3G/UMTS. Voice is clear again and reception is better :)
 
Voice always runs over GSM, regardless of the data settings. ;)

Not at all. UMTS and GSM are independent technologies and both capable of carrying voice on their own. UMTS and GSM use different frequencies (probably with differently configured voice codecs) and will have different levels of congestion and reception quality depending on your location.
 
I have had internet connection problems everyday from about 11am to about 2pm for over a year. Have made several calls to MTN regarding this issue but eventually gave up.
 
Well myself and several colleagues switched from UMTS to GSM on our phones, and now where we used to get dropped calls and compression that sounded like 4kbps, we get stable calls and much clearer voice reception. This in the Melrose area.
