10 seconds of dead silence at start of calls

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I'm on Meteor business account with multpie phones. On some calls that I make or take, I notice that a few calls start with about 10 seconds of total dead silence after the call is connected. This is frustrating as the other party usually hangs up thinking it's a bad connection.

    I've seen two things happen.

    1. Either I call out or receive a call, the first 10 seconds of the call is total dead silence, not even background noise. After that initial 10 seconds, everything is fine.

    2. When I receive a call, I can hear the other party but they cannot hear me for the first 10 seconds or so. They hear dead silence but I hear them.


    This has been going on for months. Initially, I thought it was a problem with my phone until I realised a pattern. It only seemed to be when the other party was a Meteor customer too. So it then looked like a Meteor network issue. But yesterday the boss said that he only gets it when he rings me. It also happened when a landline called me yesterday. But I think that's the only time it happened from a landline.


    So, a few minutes ago, I started the process of getting my phone fixed when a guy beside me [also on Meteor] said he noticed the same thing on his phone. He thinks it's just calls to and from mobiles.

    So either both our phones are dodgy [different makes and models. Mine is a Nokia, his is Sony Ericsson] or there maybe something wrong on the network.

    Has anyone else seen this?
