iPhone 4s, echo when using apple headset during a call

I'm having an issue with my 32 gb iPhone 4s with Rogers. When using the Apple hands free headset with the phone during a call, I get an echo problem. It does not occur immediately. It can very from 30 seconds into a call and as far up to 9 mins in before it begins the annoying echo. If I unplug the headset it goes away but will return when I plug the headset back in. I have tried 3 brand new iphone 4s headsets with the same problems. So far I have tried rebooting, and also restored phone back to factory original settings as a new phone and still no resolution. I have been told by the other person on the line a screech sound is made then the echo begins.

I am also experiencing this issue. iPhone 4s on Verizon in Washington, DC. After about five minutes into a phone call using the apple earbuds/headset, I'll hear a slight reverb and the person on the other end of the call will hear a very loud and very delayed echo of everything they say. Very distracting and upsetting for my contacts.


Unplugging and replugging the headset or activating the speakerphone clears the issue temporaraly but it will return after a similar amount of time passes.


Pleas address this issue.
