I HATE talking to people on CDMA! I HATE IT!!!
I don't care others say. CDMA is HORRIBLE!!! I know by now it's not the phone. I've met people recently on CDMA. This guy called from his Mojo phone. (Mojo uses Sprint's network) Horrible! I thought maybe it was a crappy phone cuz after all, what's Mojo wireless anyway? Then earlier this week a family member called me from her "new" phone (ported from Sprint to Verizon) Still sounded just like before. At least on Verizon her calls don't garble, but still. She sounds so low and mumbled. I HATE asking people to repeat themselves, and with her it's a frequent thing. Now, this evening a friend who I had not talked in almost 2 yrs called me and left a message (I missed her call) and I can tell she's still o...

I feel like the one cheated. Whoever I talk to on a CDMA can hear me just fine... Actually they claim to hear everything around me. I was sitting in my balcony and the train went by (the train goes by 5 blocks from my house) and my friend said something about the train. I was like what? 🤨 she said the "train is going by"... I didn't even hear it until she said so..
Me on the other end, can understand simple words like "face" I understood "chase"
I don't mean to start a flame war with this post. I'm just frustrated!

CDMA to CDMA is fine
GSM to CDMA and
CDMA to GSM is not ☹️
This isn't true. If one were flawed it would be flawed all the time. The code scheme (whether it be gsm or cdma) is just the medium through which the phone operates wirelessly. Once it gets to the landlines it's all the same thing.
larger bitrate, better voice quality. go gsm!

I wouldn't say quality, but clarity

we gsm users are spoiled with a rich sounding 13kb codec, compared to the 8kb codec for cdma

Where did you get this information?
Not sure if that still applies to modern codecs or not, I never really looked into how they worked just through use. The VoIP stuff I use now syncs everyone to the same codec so there isnt a problem.
I have to say I have had GSM & CDMA,
And it is not nessarly either, I belive it is the network, Or company, I have talked to people on VZW, and could not hear them clearly, and I have talked to people on t-mobile and not heard them with good clairty, But I think the worst is sprint, cause I usually ask people who they have when I can not hear them clearly, and sprint clearly, or not clear enough, is the one I can not hear people the most.
But I also belive that the phone makes a differance also, a friend has vzw and always dropped calls, he had an LG phone, he switched to a Razor and since has not dropped any calls, Also I belive it depends how your recption is, how you talk into the phone, Some people manage to p...

Also I play with my phone and you can go in and see the channel it is on.
When I am at my house it is on one channel, and when I am at work it is on another, it does change channels automaticly, so in thery I guess you should always be able to make a call.
I think if you get a system busy signal, the cell tower in the area must be having problems.
I have a friend who just switched to t-mobile cause he could not take the bad recption he was getting with vzw (we used to call his house the dome of silence,rember get smart,can you hear me now?), and he said that had happend to him a few times, but not latley, and t-mobile is GSM , so I guess all carr...

cdma to cdma cool, better if same carrier
gsm to gsm, really great
gsm to cdma, horrendous, for some reason, sprint always sounds clear
gsm to iden, ear torture
yup, has nothing to do with the crappy phone they are using from their basement, must be because AT&T/GSM sucks, right?
Either the people you are talking to are having phone issues, are using their phone near something causing interference, or there is a problem on your end.
Also keep in mind that not all phones are made with the same quality standards, when someone buys the 19.99 phone.. they are getting a cheapass phone. There can be a huge dif in call quality/clarity between low end and mid+ range phones. There is a reason those phones are so cheap.
