Place 8 short test calls from your US cellphone, record, upload files

Other Jobs To Apply

No other job posts for this day.

I need someone in the US to place 8 short test calls to a phone number I provide, record each call (both sides), and upload the recordings. Total work is roughly 30-40 minutes spread across 2-3 days.

I'm testing latency characteristics of a phone system. You will NOT be evaluating the service or giving feedback on it. You'll just place the calls, read a short provided script, and ship the recordings. I do all the analysis.

This is a simple data-collection job. What matters is that you follow the setup requirements exactly.

Hard requirements — please only apply if you meet all of these:

- Based in the continental US

- Personal cellphone on postpaid Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile (NOT VoIP, Google Voice, WiFi calling, MVNO like Mint/Cricket/Visible, landline, or WhatsApp)

- Able to disable WiFi calling on your phone for the duration of this job

- Able to install a call-recording app that captures both sides of the call (TapeACall on iPhone, Cube ACR on Android)

- Able to upload MP3/WAV files to a Google Drive folder I share

- Quiet indoor environment for placing calls (no cafes, cars, outdoors, or background noise)

- Available to place calls during US business hours: Monday-Friday 10am-5pm Eastern Time (or 9am-1pm ET Saturday)

What you will do:

- Place 8 calls to a US phone number I provide

- Each call is approximately 90 seconds

- Read a short 3-line script I provide (same every call)

- Record each call using your app

- Log the exact start time of each call

- Upload the recordings to my Google Drive folder

Before we start: you'll send me one free 30-second test recording so I can verify both-sides audio capture is working on your setup. Once confirmed, you're approved to place the 8 paid calls.

To apply, please answer these questions in your proposal:

- What phone model and carrier do you have? Is it postpaid (billed monthly) or prepaid?

- What US city and state are you in?

- Have you used TapeACall or Cube ACR (or similar both-sides call recorders) before? If not, are you willing to install and test one?

- Are you available to place calls in the US business-hours windows listed above?

- Can you start within 48 hours of hire?

Do not apply if: you're outside the US, using VoIP/Google Voice/WiFi calling, unable to install a recorder, or unable to commit to the business-hours window. I'll be verifying your carrier and setup on the first test recording.

Payment released on delivery of all 8 clean recordings + the timing log.
