Cross-network HD Voice
Did I miss something? I just made a call from a Vodafone account to a Virgin Mobile account and HD voice was enabled on the call. Does anybody know when this started? Apologies if this is old news and I just missed it. It's just the first time I've noticed it today!

How do you know you're using HD Voice except the quality of the call.

I've only been aware of high quality calls EE to EE, had a few today, but never ( yet) had a cross network one ( except EE to MVNO Virgin) |

In the USA for example, the phone app shows HD. I think the UK networks should do this too.

Phone App ?
In the US though, isn't the term 'HD voice' often used to describe a network's VOLTE service? |

I knew it was mentioned about 18 months ago but it all went quiet...

Will we ever get HD voice on mobile to landline calls?

Pretty sure I just had a cross network HD call here from EE to Vodafone.
Is this confirmed as now live nationwide? |

My Three G4 shows a HD calling icon against all contacts when it's on 4G, but obviously the phonecall would only be HD if I were ringing another contact on Three. |

Just tried an EE to Voda call on compatible devices and I'm not 100% sure it was HD voice...

Also, my BB only shows the HD icon when it really is HD, not just on all 4g calls. |

If you're not sure, then it probably wasn't HD. The difference is VERY noticeable.

No sign of HD calling between the two networks. Sounds like good quality standard GSM voice as we've had on Orange and T-Mobile for years. Maybe Vodafone have stopped using the half rate codec in some areas? |

I'm on Three.
My mum switched to Three two months ago and the call quality was excellent on every call. She's now switched again, this time to O2, and calls have reverted to normal 'SD' voice. The difference is very obvious. Wish she was still on Three but her NHS O2 Open discount means it's much cheaper for her to go with O2 than any other network. (I'd never go with O2 personally. O2's 3G network compared to MBNL's 3G network here in south Wales is truly awful.) |

I made a Vodafone 4G to an EE 4G call this evening and the quality was amazing. The last time I had a call that good was a 3 to 3 HD voice call about a year ago.

Made a Vodafone call to EE number and it was definitely in HD, it has that sharpness to it that goes right through me. Tested on S7 and iPhone 6S, it worked borth ways too.

This would be excellent if this is happening. I know that on the same network (Virgin to Virgin, or EE to Virgin) the call quality is very high when on 3G, but haven't tested cross network. Would be excellent if it is implemented though.
Now all they have to do is implement HD Voice on 2G as well and everything will be perfect! |

Good to hear others are confirming this now. Hope the other networks will join the cross-network offering soon!
The call was definitely HD Voice when I started it, as I asked the person I was calling if they had a 3G signal and they did. Half way through the call the quality totally dropped and yes, their phone had dropped to a 2G signal (mine was still on 3G). I have heard HD Voice on Three to Three and EE to EE calls before now, so I totally know the difference ![]() jayteedc |

Having done some testing between my iPhone on EE and a Vodafone SIM on my Nexus 5 whilst recording the call data with QXDM from the Nexus, it appears that when a call goes through EE's IMS core (VoLTE or Wifi Calling) it isn't HD voice to Vodafone but only when I dropped my iPhone manually down to 3G did the call become HD Voice / AMR-WB 12.65Kbps.
EE on Wifi Calling first then I went to VoLTE over 2600 then 3G @ 2100 (obviously). Vodafone CSFBed down from 4G @ 800 to 3G900 (2938 ARFCN) |
