Quote from gwb-trading:
Voice on telecommunications circuits still is limited to the 300 Hz to 3400 Hz frequency range. This has not changed with the advent of cell phones. The range of human voice is 80 Hz to 14 kHz.
One reason for this is that cell phone calls still get routed over the standard telecommunications network after leaving the tower. When a cell phone call is made, the voice compression between the cell phone and the tower is usually one of the more modern voice schemes, but still limited to 300 Hz to 3400 Hz. For example if the cell network is GSM then CELP coding will be used for the voice. At the cell tower the call will be routed to a standard MSC Telco switch which will convert the CELP to standard 8 bit u-Law PCM companding that is used in the US. This 8 bit sampling allows 64 Kbits to be used for each voice call which can be multiplexed up in T1 circuits (23 channels of voice plus one signalling for ISDN-PRI or 24 channels of voice with SS7 signalling being used out of channel).
So in answer to your question, cell phones do not do a wider range of frequencies today and improve voice quality in any manner. There can be an argument made that echo cancellation algorithms have improved, but not to the point where the quality of a cell phone call will exceed that of a landline phone.
His question was answered by someone with a lifetime of experience. Your haughty arrogant google searched answer doesn't really add much except to show that you are a fucking child who can't stand being wrong and being outshown.
Zimmerman won't be arrested and I'll be pointing out your folly and assholiness for a very long time. Happy posting.
