Cell phones have an automatic voice amplifier it them. So no matter how loud you yell, it doesn't help. You can talk at almost a whisper and the cell phone will amplify it.
Your local cell company sounds like they are using a phone that has a problem with that part of the circuit. Either complain to the cell company or contact the manufacturer of the phone and see if there's a fix.
Certain "hands free" sets that are not OEM can do that too...

I've racked up about 3000 Rollover minutes. And I use my cell phone as my PRIMARY phone. A select few people actually know my house number. They never call it though.

Our house phone sucks, we never use it and half the time it doesn't ring. So we just give everybody my mom's cell number.
26 min of me talking. all of it was to the GF, she called me, i'm not a big talker. Unless...
hahaha.
I listen just fine, just not a talker.

Hmmmmm, on my personal phone I average about 300 mins a month and on my company phone.......I dont get the bill for that but I think my boss once told me that it is somewhere around 1500 a month or something like that. My job requires me to be in constant contact with my bases.

I use about 100 minutes on my personal phone. My wife uses around 1000 on hers. I have no idea how many I use on my work phone & I'm glad I don't have to pay the bill. I run its battery down some days. I'm a service tech & stay on the phone.

I'm having mine turned off in a month or so. I'd do it now but a lot cheaper to pay the bill than pay the disconect fee. Maybe 10 minutes last month. The wife, now thats a whole nother story. Don' even mention taking her phone away.

My current phone has 2311 calls for 71 hrs of talking. W/o doing the math, my average is probably around 4-5 minutes.
