Core CoE · 2026 review

Call Quality — 2026 outcomes

How call setup, in-call quality and user ratings moved for calls originating in the UAE (AE→AE, AE→US, AE→Europe) from January to mid-October 2026, and the call-quality work Core CoE shipped along the way.

Data as of 2026-10-14 · ProductBoard snapshot 2026-10-14

Part 1 · What changed

Weekly rates. Numbered pins mark when key call-quality work was released. They are there to show timing, and a pin lining up with a drop does not by itself prove the release caused it.

Total not-ring rate

(silence never-ring + delayed ring) ÷ paired calls · lower is better

    Not-ring rate (silence never-ring)

    The caller never heard ringing and the callee never connected ÷ paired calls

    In-call bad-call rate

    Any video, audio or connection issue during the call ÷ all call legs

    V3 dashboard view by country: call-not-ring and total bad call (Jan → Oct)

    Lighthouse V3 "Total" family, filtered by country (the reporting user's IP country: every call leg made or received by users located in AE, the US or Europe, whatever the other side is). V3 divides by all calls, including unanswered ones, so these numbers are on a different scale from the V2 charts above. A true caller→callee corridor view is only kept for the last 91 days, so it can't be shown for the full year.
    Call-not-ring % (callout no-ring ÷ all calls)
    Total bad call % (not-ring + unanswered bad + answered bad)

    P2P call rating (CSAT)

    The post-call star rating users leave on 1:1 calls, from voip_rating_stat_v2 with the same definitions as Lighthouse › VoIP › CSAT. The rating label is the real caller_callee pair. Separate AE→US and AE→EU labels only exist from 2026-05-05; AE→AE goes back to Jul 2025.
    Average rating (1–5★), weighted by rating count
    Satisfied rate: 4–5★ ÷ all ratings
    Monthly rating table (avg · audio · video · 4–5★ · 1★ · iOS vs Android)

    Monthly table

    The same numbers by month. A month's rate is sum(numerator) ÷ sum(denominator) over the days that have data.
