A method of determining the quality of transmitted voice data can include: providing voice data at a transmitter side in a first data format, providing a first test signal in the first data format, combining the voice data and the test signal to form input data, transmitting the input data in a transmittal data format, receiving the transmitted input data at a receiver side to obtain output data, removing at least portions of a data packet in the output data or of a data packet derived therefrom in order to derive a second test signal, and analysing the derived second test signal by applying a predetermined analysis criterion in order to obtain at least one value for a quality indicator. An apparatus and system can also be configured to utilize embodiments of the method.

In various implementations, an acceptable condition of a mobile device may be determined based on a remote verification of a condition of the mobile device, wherein a method to verify the mobile device may comprise a user requesting the verification of the mobile device, the performance of a diagnostic on the mobile device, the reception of a security data object associated with the mobile device by the system, and/or the determination that the mobile device has a security feature either disabled or enabled. When the security feature of the mobile device is enabled or disabled, the system may configure the GUI to direct a user to disable the security feature or the system may configure the GUI to show an acceptable condition when the security feature is disabled.

Communication systems and communication methods are provided, by which load of a communication network when measuring a voice communication quality can be suppressed. A test signal for voice communication quality evaluation is transmitted to a communication terminal apparatus via a communication network, and a received voice data encoded by a predetermined scheme for the test signal received with the communication terminal apparatus is received from the communication terminal apparatus. A received voice signal is generated from the received voice data received from the communication terminal apparatus, and a evaluation value of voice communication quality is calculated by comparing the generated received voice signal with the test signal before transmitting.

A computer-implemented method includes generating at least one call detail record for each call initiated on a communication network, aggregating the call detail records generated over a predetermined time period to provide an aggregated call detail record, and calculating a call set up failure rate for the calls from the aggregated call detail record, wherein the call set up failure rate is a measure of the amount of calls that failed prior to ringing at a called party's device. The computer-implemented method further includes adjusting parameters of the communication network when the call set up failure rate is above a threshold.
