Steve, help me understand exactly what you said above. Having problems
with "to the card you use" and "related to the card used".

Also, please clearify "not using standard wav format". Does that truly
mean recording voicemail messages in gsm format is the cause for the
additional 10db of loss measured and noted in bug 2023?

If that's the case, then why has bug 2023 been lurking without any such
comments for many many months?
