Well, my research tells me that all the new phones have variable bit rate, 
which means the throughput goes WAY down if you pause between words, speak in 
a low volume, or have a lower pitched voice.  It then jumps up when necessary, 
and it's the low resolution of the low bitrate along with the network or 
phone's inability to handle the sudden jump up in bitrate that causes all 
kinds of artifacts, some enough to make the audio unintelligible.

I have several friends with iPhones, for instance.  I have asked them to text 
me instead because it's nearly impossible to hear what they're saying on them.
