Wait Call

Wait for an incoming call on a real SIM, answer it, and score the audio quality.

Wait for an incoming call on the SIM and answer it. Paired with Place Call on another SIM, it verifies the full voice path; with recording and MOS enabled, it scores the audio quality the listener actually heard.

Results and metrics

In the action report (result):

FieldDescription
seconds_elapsed_until_acceptTime before the call arrived and was answered.
call_duration_secondsTime the call stayed up.
caller_numberThe calling party's number.
audio_mosThe audio quality score (MOS), when recording and MOS are enabled.
ceer_responseThe network's call end report.
access_technology_reportThe technology used for the call.

In Analytics, each run feeds the call measurement with cellular_call_duration_seconds, cellular_audio_mos, and duration_seconds, tagged by status, caller number, antenna, and access technology. cellular_audio_mos is the series to watch for voice quality degradation.
