We live in an age of high-speed and high-quality bandwidth being available nearly everywhere we turn, and yet call quality has not changed for the past 20 years. It still has the same shit sound quality as it did decades ago, and while every other aspect of mobile technology has been upgraded to or close to its logical extreme, the single most important task a phone should be able to perform gets left behind.
WHY?

Because your phone company is shit. Are you in the USA? Because that's the most likely explanation. Most other countries have actual 4G and/or VoLTE to give users good quality audio in their calls.
because the quality is good enough. and wen you increase the quality, you also increase the required bandwidth. why didn't you use the Q&A thread like a white man??
It's not so much the companies but the two primary networks we have here (CDMA and GSM, CDMAS doesn't really count as a separate network) are complete shit and haven't seen proper upgrades in years, it's all duct taped together. Hopefully 5G will be the generation when they decide to finally unfuck everything.
I don't need an increase in quality in spam phone calls, which are all I get anyway.
The quality is absolutely not good enough when every phone call sounds like it's being slammed through a tin can with a string.
VoLTE
your ISP is shit, US I presume
i agree
Phones are only good for arranging meetings anyway. You aren't handing over a recorded form of all your conversations to Big Brother, are you?
I don't even understand why the telephony network is still a thing. Why not just slowly replace all the infrastructure with VOIP?
