Hi,
First up, no using 3G should not have any impact on call quality for either
internal UK calls or those made over seas. This is because the difference
between 2.5G and 3G, i.e. Traditional GSM verse 3G, is mainly increased band
width, this band width as with land lines is used and dedicated to data based
content, and not voice signals. So using 3G will speed up everything from
sending a text message or picture message, through to using the internet and
sending e-mail, but will not effect call quality.
In the case of your call to India, it is likely that the carrier network at the
other end doesn't have a particually good quality coverage.
As for battery, yes using 3G will notably reduce your battery life.

Hi Guys
I was wondering if someone could clarify a couple of issues for me in
relation to the above.
Firstly, if I set my phone to dual mode, will I get a better signal
especially when making or receiving international calls? The reason I ask
this is because my phone was set to GSM and I tried to make a call to India
but the person on the other end could not hear what I was trying to say
whereas I could hear them clearly.
secondly, does GSM use less battery than 3G.
Thanks guys
