Wireless Call Quality Performance Study:

  • dropped calls
  • static/interference
  • failed connection on the first try
  • voice distortion
  • echoes
  • no immediate voice mail notification
  • and no immediate text message notification

The study was conducted on several geographic areas in the US. This means that some carriers may not do very well in some areas that they do not have full coverage. This will also inform mobile phone customers on the carriers that have the best call quality in their area.

West Region: Verizon Wireless was ranked first in this area.
