Place a voice call from a SIM

Place a voice call from a real SIM, measure how long it takes to connect, and score the audio quality.

Call another SIM in the platform for an end-to-end voice test, or any number. Hold the call for a chosen duration, optionally play an audio file into it, and record it to compute the audio MOS (Mean Opinion Score, the standard audio quality score).

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
Access technologyNoNetwork technology, including VoLTE (voice over 4G) profiles. Default: automatic.
Call Receiver NumberYesThe number to call. Supports variables.
Max wait timeNoHow long to wait for the call to connect. Default: 30.
Call durationNoHow long to hold the call once connected. Default: 10.
Play file during callNoPlay a reference audio file into the call (used for MOS scoring on the receiving side).
Record callNoRecord the call audio. Default: off.
Compute Audio MOSNoScore the recorded audio against a reference file. Requires recording.
Call should failNoInvert the verdict, for barred numbers.

Results and metrics

In the action report (result):

FieldDescription
wait_connect_duration_in_secondsTime for the call to connect.
post_dial_delay_in_secondsDelay between dialing and ringing.
call_duration_in_secondsTime the call stayed up.
total_duration_in_secondsEnd-to-end action duration.
ceer_responseThe network's call end report, for diagnosing drops.
access_technology_reportThe technology used for the call.

In Analytics, each run feeds the call measurement with cellular_call_duration_seconds, cellular_call_connect_duration_seconds, cellular_call_post_dial_delay_seconds, and duration_seconds, tagged by status, antenna, and access technology.
