Parties cannot hear each other

When conducting calls, one of the following issues either occasionally occurs or always occurs. It either occurs right at the beginning of the conversation or sometime during the conversation, for example after five minutes:

  • You do not hear the other party.
  • The other party does not hear you.
  • The parties cannot hear each other.

This may give the impression that the telephone connection has been terminated. However, the connection is still active. You can see that it is because the telephony LED on the FRITZ!Box remains lit. The LED does not switch off until you end the call by hanging up.

  4. Enable the option "Alternative microphone".

2 Activating the microphone

The following steps are only necessary if the problem occurs with FRITZ!App Fon on an iOS device:

  2. Tap "Privacy" and then "Microphone".
  3. Activate the microphone for FRITZ!App Fon.

3 Contacting your cable provider

We are not aware of any further measures to correct the error; therefore, the FRITZ!Box cannot resolve this issue.
