Just thought I'd report that CSipSimple works great on this thing.
It will lower your idle time if you have it stay active for receiving calls.
Call quality for me has been great so far.
The wife does make fun of me for holding a 7 inch tablet up to my ear though...
But it is free calling lol

What are your experiences with call volume? With it cranked all the way up, it's just adequate on most calls and I don't envision being able to hear the other side well in a busy location. Only call that's been nice and loud has been talking to Best Buy. All other calls, from Verizon callers, talking to ATT customer service, etc have just been enough for at home.
The volume also so seems to be extremely sensitive to where it's placed on the ear. The sweet spot is fairly small, much more so than any other phone I've ever used.
Hi all i just thought id share a recent purchase as i was so pleased with it. I just bought a set of SD10 bluetooth headphones/handsfree. Basically they are small foldable wireless headphones that let you answer and make calls, also control your music, when used for chatting on the phone people have told me the sound quality from the mic is great, and listening to music i found them loud enough but slightly on the tinny side, but not too bad i was amazed how loud and good the sound quality was, i did enable a volume booster app to give them a bit more punch.
Overall awsome for music when working out , jogging, or long phonecalls on the note 8, with upto 20 hours of battery life and 400 hours standby, recharged by usb. They fit behind your head rather than over the top and are impossible to shake off as they kaind of loop over each ear.
I highly recommend them... i purchased mine from ebay for about £15, but they are about £25 in online stores
Heres a video on them... gimme your thoughts

Hi, I have a Note Pro 12.2 which I carry in my bag all the time. I just added phone service. I am concerned that I might miss important phone calls or messages. How is the Gear 2 phone capabilities? Somebody mentioned that there is no noise cancellation. Is it convenience to use it for making phone calls? How is the speaker and microphone quality? Can I use it for audio recording? is the recording clear?
Its very good if u keep in prespective its still a watch. I can talk with arms swaying while walking, on the steering wheel while driving... on a very noisy day, like with anyother speakerphone u will have issues though.

agree; its surprisingly clear and loud, and no one has complained about the volume or sound quality yet..
When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the Google Pixel XL's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Call quality is fantastic on Verizon VoLTE. SD calls sound as you would expect and have plenty of volume. HD calls don't sound quite as crisp. I think this is due to the ear speaking not being able to reproduce the high frequencies quite as well. However the low side, Hearing the bass in someones voice is fantastic and overall call quality is on-par with my previous note 7.
I dont like voice call quality , better was on nex 6P , the best I have heard was on iphone 7 plus .

Not easy to beat the iPhone for voice call quality. I have owned quite a few smartphones from various brands and Apple sort of does set the standard there although the old HTC 7 had great call quality before that were the old Nokia phones.

Wut...? Apple is notorious for having terrible antenna arrays and average to poor microphones and earpieces. I had an iPhone 7 that I was using for work testing and it was dropping calls left and right and the earpiece was far to quiet. People had a hard time hearing me as well. This has been the issue for years and is well documented. I'm curious what awful phones you've had in the past to think that an iPhone "sets the standard"...
iPhones are known for ease of use and above average cameras and this is what they market (quite well at that).
This isn't the phone's fault, but I haven't been too impressed with call quality on Project Fi. So far I've only made wifi calls (all on my home wifi) and sometimes the call briefly drops out. There's also a small but noticeable delay. I was really hoping Project Fi would work better because it's such a better deal. Oh well, I'll probably switch back to Verizon pretty soon.
t mobile wifi calls are loud and clear..fantastic call quality with this phone
Mine sounds great on t mobile....

My problem was entirely due to wifi calling. I think the problem lies in the latency of my lousy north-eastern Wisconsin Time Warner internet connection. My router is definitely not the problem. Anyway, I disabled wifi calling and now call quality is fantastic with T-Mobile and US Cellular.

I have owned many phones. Note 2 and then Note 3, HTC 7,Galaxy S6 Edge, and iPhone 6s Plus are some of the new ones which came out of which I had bought. These were bought when they first came out.
Pixel robot
I keep getting lots of people saying that I sound like a robot during calls on my pixel. At first I thought it was wifi calling causing this so I turned it off but people still saying it happens. Might just be a network issue on EE in the UK but never had this problem with my old phone.
how is your call quality over bluetooth? when connected to my car's bt, the call quality is terrible. i had to turn off bt just to hear the other person. with my previous phone, the call over bt is clear. so i know its not my car's bt issue.

My calls have been quite good. Have not lost one. Very clear. If anything I've had to turn down the volume occassionally. Almost as good as Moto phones re: call quality.
this happened to me more than once, but I figured that was because the network keeps changing from 4g to 3g or 2g at my place which causes problems for ongoing calls. Wherever I have good signal strength for 4G, I don't face this issue.
I'm a truck driver and i use my phone all day long making calls in remote areas. I have cricket wireless. This phone gets better reception and has the least dropped calls compared to any other phone i have used (Nexus 5, Nexus 6, leo eco pro 3, Samsung note 3, Nexus 4) couldn't be happier. It seems as though when you go through a bad area the phone doesn't just disconnected like my older phones it waits a few seconds.
I almost returned this phone because of camera and jelly scrolling. I said I'll live with this because reception is so good it's worth the miniscule problems. I don't even notice the jelly now lol. And the camera does fairly good with Google camera app
My only issues with calling would be some weird buzzing noises than occur during some SIP calls. Not regularly though. The ability to activate auto-call-recording is a huge plus imo, I'm a very forgetful person and always having a recording of the last call to check WHAT exactly you should bring again from the grocery store in a life-saver sometimes
In my case its not good.it does not sound crisp.rather very gloomy tone.i dunno if its because of the mono speaker or i am using a 3g sim.and i noticed call quality a little better when making whatsapp voice call.still it lacks crispyness.
Do cases affect call quality, I am considering the official karbon bumper case.
Very good clear loud and crisp sound with best cellular reception
Call quality on op5t is amazing. I have never been experienced this level of quality before even over the high speed internet call. I have made a conference call using VoLTE and HD symbol was there. Also recorded the call and it was loud and clear.
