Default Be Careful

Other forums advise that setting B as the default will mean that you will get NO call quality if you venture into an area where B is not yet supported.

This is from another forum, but it wont let me post links because i'm new
It is a good explanation. it's over on incredibleforum dot com thanks to luv2increase

EVRC-B is an advanced, new and better audio codec than regular EVRC. Verizon started rolling out EVRC-B in 2007. The people who have bad experiences with doing this settings change are either:

1) Not in an area of the country where EVRC-B has been implemented yet
or
2) A little too far or just on the outer edge of the EVRC-B range


For those within the viscinity of EVRC-B capable towers, we are "LUCKY"

Why are we lucky? Well, it is a "fact" that EVRC-B will allow better call quality. That is one of the reasons it was designed and implemented!


It was posted earlier, but here it is again just in case some of you didn't see it from page #2:
Enhanced Variable Rate Codec B - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suggest everyone read that and to make the settings change. If you have worse quality or no reception, then just change it back. Apparently, Verizon hasn't made it to your area yet, unfortunately.

Thanks! Looks easy enough to roll back, just sent it to myself in an e-mail in case I find myself out of a covered area and need to switch back.
