Hi I have an iphone 4 - people can barely hear me when I am on the phone so the microphone must be working - it is more clear when I put speaker phone on - is there anything I can do?

thanks

Check if there is anything blocking the mic hole or if it has any fluff in it.

Do iPhones have 2 microphones like some others? it may be an issue with the main microphone but as you switch to loudspeaker it uses another microphone.

I think they have separate microphones for the phone and video/face time?
