Echo is when you say something and then hear it bounce back to you some 
brief time later...

This can be caused by many things, but the most common in my opinion is 
cheap handsets and improper volumes.  For example, you say "hello 
Ashima" into the phone, it travels across whatever technological 
monstrosity lies between you and the called party... When it get they 
hear your voice, but if the microphone on there handset hears it too, 
you might hear it again coming back to you.
