Generally not via satellites, unless you happen to be using a satellite phone to make a call from a remote location because nothing else works – in which case you’d know about it.
Satellites are too expensive, and geostationary satellites, which are the only ones you can aim a satellite dish at without having to constantly move it, are much too far away. It talks about a quarter second for a signal to get up to a geostationary satellite and back to earth. So for a phone call for a signal to get from your voice via a satellite to your friend, and then for you to hear their response (which might be them stopping talking) via the same satellite it would add about a half second delay.
