Stop Noise from Your Line

To reduce noise originating from your line, try:

Disconnecting your line and calling back in.
Switching from your mobile to a landline. Landlines offer better audio quality and sustained connectivity.
Turning off speakerphone. Speakerphones can degrade call quality with echo, ambient and white noise.
Picking up the telephone handset. Handsets usually have better sound characteristics than speakerphones and headsets.
Disconnecting hands-free devices.
Moving electronic devices such as PDAs, cell phones and laptops away from the active phone.
