This phone is super loud. I talked to my dad yesterday and nearly friggin blew my ear out. I had gone out the night before and had the volume up so that I could hear inside of the bar (which I could hear just fine and the person on the other end didn't even know that I was in a bar let alone a bar with music blasting). I hadn't turned the ear piece volume down so when I talked to my dad, it seriously hurt my ear. So make sure that you have the earpiece volume down before you talk to people with booming voices. Haha.
