When I call certain phone numbers in Memphis, I get an echo. What causes this?

Question

Is there something I can do to stop the echoing in my phone when I call certain numbers in Memphis? I'm hearing everything I say coming back to me, and it's extremely annoying and distracting. So I end up using my calling card for those numbers, but would much rather use my cell phone.

IT IS CALLED SLIPPAGE.

The cause is a sync problem in the long lines or interexchange office or a bad card in your SLIC bank.

Complain to your telco (SouthCentral Bell???)

Answer 2

The connection
