Verizon Voice over LTE is terrible

[Rob Phillips]

Has anybody else noticed that enabling LTE for voice makes calls sound terrible or is it just me? I've been hearing a ton of background static ever since I enabled it. I switched it off and now the static is gone.

I don't use Verizon, but I have not heard anyone complaining about this.

Yes I live in Buffalo Ny and have Verizon, I had the exact same experience so I turned it off.. Figure no need to use it since I have unlimited talk lol

I have had mixed issues with it on. But mostly keep it turned off.

Actually voice over LTE uses minutes just like any other call. The apparent advantage is that if you're talking to someone else who also has the feature enabled it should sound clearer. While it doesn't sound as muffled, the static was unbearable to me and not worth the slightly better clarity of the person on the other end.

I haven't had any issues myself.

Looks like VoLTE needs to be enabled for simultaneous voice and data.

No issues on my 6+ or my sammy S6. Sounds fine.

Mine sounds ok. No issues!

No longer with Big Red. But used 5s and 6 on VOLTE before I left. Had no issues. Much better voice quality for sure. But we all had VOLTE phones wth feature turned on.

When I call someone with the same feature it sounds like I am sitting right next to them. It is CRYSTAL clear for me. Maybe you have a bad LTE signal???
