Very pronounced "speakerphone" effect to calls?

Experiences vary. My call quality on Vonage was horrible, despite nearly a year of working with Vonage tech support to fix it. I do not get any sort of half-duplex effect with Voipo that I have been able to detect.

So when someone else is talking TO you if you say "hello" they can immediately hear you even though they are still talking.

Try having someone count to 10 and while they are still counting you start counting to 10 and see if they can hear you at the same time they are counting.

Full duplex here with no speakerphone effect whatsoever. I've called cell phones, POTS and other Voipo users. Voipo to Voipo calls are exceptionally good and clear (reminds me of the Vonage commercial with the guy hanging upside down). It must be some other hardware/network problem in the mix causing the problem for some users....handsets, etc.

Same here - full duplex afaik. Faint echo at times but often goes away.
