Can you explain what happened to this friend of mine during his phone conversation?

This was his post:

“So I’m not paranoid type and I don’t really care if big brother is listening in on my phone calls. I have nothing to hide. However, I was talking to my brother on the phone yesterday and at some point our conversation was replayed back in my ear at a higher speed. It Quickly slowed down to my last sentence I said to a normal speed. Weird. My brother didn’t hear it, but Rachel was sitting next to me and did hear it. Any ideas what that is?”

One answer mentioned “nothing to worry about, often satellite distance makes that echo.”

The OP responded with “Seems like a long echo. Conversation was about four minutes long.”

The satellite comment sounded reasonable to me, but I’m not sure how all of that works. What do you know about how cell phones / satellites interface? Does his comment make sense?
