Let $\mathcal{T}$ be the ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra generated by the Toeplitz operators $\left\{ {{T}_{\varphi }}:\varphi \in {{L}^{\infty }}\left( S,d\sigma \right) \right\}$ on the Hardy space ${{H}^{2}}\left( S \right)$ of the unit sphere in ${{C}^{n}}$. It is well known that $\mathcal{T}$ is contained in the essential commutant of $\left\{ {{T}_{\varphi }}:\varphi \in \text{VMO}\cap {{L}^{\infty }}\left( S,d\sigma \right) \right\}$. We show that the essential commutant of $\left\{ {{T}_{\varphi }}:\varphi \in \text{VMO}\cap {{L}^{\infty }}\left( S,d\sigma \right) \right\}$ is strictly larger than $\mathcal{T}$.
