*nods* When in the home office, I use my podcasting setup (headphones, dedicated mic, ran through some software to clean up a bit more.)

Subject: RE: Call Quality
Working for a conferencing company, we hear all about this.
You’d think that acoustic echo cancellation was settled science, and you’d be wrong. There are so many bad quality speakerphones and conference phones.
Further, so many software engineers (yes, you Google!) think they have some special insight. Their stuff is just as bad as others. Worse because it can be variable.
Bottom line is, if you must hear and be heard well…when it really matters….use a headset.

God, I hope customers don't hold their carriers responsible for inappropriate use of speakerphones.
Yes, I'm sure the complaints received for the above are non-null. That's how much faith I have in customers.

Echo, as in hearing yourself coming back with a delay?
Sound flying from the speaker to the microphone at the far end. Dodgy
speaker phone, poor plastic design of the phone, DSP not doing echo
cancellation. Or too much end to end latency - if it is quick enough,
you don't notice. Could be loads of things.
Quite often with third party USB or bluetooth `speaker phones`
