Does 4G give better call quality?

[Anonymous]

Hi, this may be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway

I know 4G is all about better data speeds, but do you get better call quality on a 4G connection, or does it not make any difference?

Indoors, my call quality isn't very good as my signal bounces between 2G and 3G as I'm on the edge of a 3G enabled area.  I'm right in the middle of a 4G area though, so was just wondering if that would make any difference to call quality.

Thanks.

4G is for data / internet only, calls will drop down to 3G

Not at the moment but when they get round to using voice over 4g I'm sure it will

Thanks.  Wishful thinking I guess

It will happen and I would think it's not too far away with the rate O2 are progressing with their 4g network

I'm not sure if O2 have been testing it (I have a suspicion they have) but VOLTE (Voice Over LTE) is running in some countries already....

Yes I don't think it will be too far away

VOLTE sounds interesting.  I presume you'd get Skype style call quality.

That would be a definate added bonus for 4G.

Certainly would be good

o2-de are in advance tests of Volte and public launch and fast data download
