Apparatus and method for evaluating voice quality in a mobile network

A method comprising:

• receiving a first message following conclusion of a voice call between a first apparatus and a second apparatus over a network;
• and in response thereto,
• obtaining a geographic location of at least the first apparatus;
• preparing a second message for transmission to the first apparatus, the second message including a telephone number of a quality server to enable the first apparatus to initiate a voice call to the telephone number to participate in a voice quality test with the quality server, the voice quality test including calculation of a score reflecting a quality of the voice call;
• receiving the score;
• and
• correlating the score with the geographic location of at least the first apparatus to facilitate tuning the network based on the score and the geographic location.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable storage medium and computer-readable program code portions being configured to, with at least one processor, cause an apparatus to at least:

• receive a first message following conclusion of a voice call between a first apparatus and a second apparatus over a network;
• and in response thereto,
• obtain a geographic location of at least the first apparatus;
• prepare a second message for transmission to the first apparatus, the second message including a telephone number of a quality server to enable the first apparatus to initiate a voice call to the telephone number to participate in a voice quality test with the quality server, the voice quality test including calculation of a score reflecting a quality of the voice call;
• receive the score;
• and
• correlate the score with the geographic location of at least the first apparatus to facilitate tuning the network based on the score and the geographic location.
