Why do I hear myself as an echo on the phone sometimes? Just certain
calls do it. I get this on my cellphone more than my landline, but I
have gotten it on the LL too. Sometimes the echo is so loud I have a
hard time making the call. It just happened on my LL when I called a
local business. I know that business has their LL connected to a
satellite along with their tv. (My LL is wired). I get this on my cell,
at times whether I call another cell or a LL.

This echo is my own voice and it's heard about 1/2 t one second after I
speak.

That's the echo from another satilite in orbit transmitting your signal.
It usually is sent into outer space to a remote space station opperated
by martians.

When line is not properly terminated that happens.
