That may have been the case twenty years ago, from whence many of these
complaints arise back when cell phones were little more than glorified
walkie-talkies and one had to call out the alphabet, but nowadays, cell
phones are as clear as land lines.

I don't shout into a cell phone, no one I've seen take a call shouts into
their cell phone. Perhaps those who complain are living in a hard of
hearing zone.
