Nokia 6021 - Echos when talking

Jnealon

I've a 6021 that echos when I receive calls, mainly from land lines. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it's very annoying.
The folks at the shop where I bought the phone will gladly change it for me but I don't want to be changing a perfectly good phone for something simple.
I have been on to O2 about this and after running a few tests everything from their end seems to be ok.
Will a new phone fix this
Thanks

Echos are caused when you switch from a mobile to a landline, so a new phone wont fix it.
There is a device called an "echo Canceller" that mobile networks use when calls are routed to landlines, these devices may have been busy when you called, so best thing to do when you ring/get rung and there is echo, is to ring back.

It never happens when I make calls only when I get calls. Does this echo canceller work on incoming and outgoing calls
