Understanding and Managing Call Insights (MOS)

 

 

The Call Insights feature gives greater visibility into the quality of each Call, showing weekly, monthly, and daily Mean Opinion (MOS) on all answered calls. Available as an add-on feature, all new AVOXI customers can opt into 60-day Free Trial on our Basic plan, including 1,000 calls and a minimal overage rate of $0.0100 per Call. As an AVOXI Admin, you can instantly upgrade your plan at any time via your AVOXI online platform. With three competitive pricing plans, you can select a package based on your estimated call volume (standard overage fee applies). Once activated, AVOXI Admins can drill down into call details and review to instantly address quality issues. 

 

Automatic Renewal:  As an AVOXI Admin, you must cancel the subscription within the 60-Day Free Trial period, after which time you will automatically be billed the Basic plan monthly recurring cost.

 


 

For decades Mean Opinion Score (MOS) has been a commonly-used metric to measure the overall voice call quality. A MOS score of 4 or higher is generally considered a good quality call. If MOS is 3.5 or below, we recommend you look at which input metrics most impact the score. Then, use our metrics guide to review the various items that cause poor call quality issues and recommendations on addressing them.
