Calling home from new zealand, recieving a call from ireland

Claasman · 2009-09-28 00:08:51

Just a quick q for the nz crowd on here. When i call home from my telecom phone, i have no problems, but when the folks ring me from the landline in ireland there is about a 5 sec delay. There was never any problems in aus with this. Anyone else have similar problems with the phone line?

usually just keep hanging up and ringing back until it sounds right.

ive noticed this a bit from both ends actually over the last few years. now we just have a crap phone that you can hardly hear most things on. *eye roll*
