Blackberry help

[Bad Attitude]

Have any of you Blackberry owners had any trouble with a bad echo... mostly when someone calls me. If I hang up and call them back, it goes away! very frustrating! I have the 8900 model, have had my location reset, a new SIM card, and even had the phone replaced completely... same thing! Thanks for the comments. "thumbsup"

Stop answering your phone calls while standing in a large canyon....

What company are you with? I am with sprint and my Palm Pre does the same thing. The people that I am talking to do not here the echo. It seems to be only on my end. I too have replaced the phone and still have the same issue.

I have an 8330 and it never does that but I'm normally in an area with good coverage, but even when I'm in spotty coverage I've never had that problem. I go through Sprint.

Could be the fact your calls are transmitted over other carriers towers/antennas (roaming thru other carriers routers) this sometimes causes an overlap or delay type of signal. Giving you the double up.

You can solve this issue by using a better carrier/service provider."thumbsup"


Sprint and Nextel are mainly located in larger urban areas and along major highways there fore leasing right to transmit thru other carriers. T-mobile purchases/leases options to use other carriers to provide most all of their service having few, if any towers.

AT&T and Verizon own many of their own towers, although companies like American tower, Crown Castle International/USA and other companies actually own thousands of the towers in the world and lease the vertical spots for their antennas to different carriers all on the same tower. Sort of like vertical real estate or apartments. I had one tower(our largest) in Lexington, KY. providing service for 43 clients/carriers. I was in the tower business for a few years with CCI as a construction manager."thumbsup"

You will notice most towers/carriers antennas (some may be located on buildings) are located within 6-9 miles of each other. Usually not exceeding 7 miles, any farther in most circumstances will result in loss of signal between the towers. Meaning the signal does not over lap the next tower or service is blocked by an obstruction. The towers are set up like links in a log chain.

Sorry for being long winded but many people have no clue how things work, they just accept that they do!!!!
