A system and method for displaying a customized banner on a wireless communication device (WCD) indicating call quality. A WCD operating in a wireless communication system that include a first base station can receive from the first base station a first message that includes a first specific indication confirming that a particular mode of high quality voice communication has become active on an end-to-end basis for an existing voice call between the WCD and a different WCD operating in the wireless communication system. In response to determining that the first message includes the first specific indication, the WCD can a particular icon signifying that the particular mode of high quality voice communication has become active.

Customized display banner indicating call quality

A system and method for customizing call setup based on predicted call quality is disclosed. When a radio access network (RAN) device receives a request to set up a call between an originating wireless communication device (WCD) and a terminating WCD, the RAN device can predict that the call will use particular coding technique. The prediction can be made prior to alerting either of the originating or terminating WCDs of the new call, and can be based on a historical call record of calls originated by the originating WCD and/or terminated by the terminating WCD. The RAN device can then alert at least one of the originating WCD or the terminating WCD of the call with an alerting signal that indicates the particular coding technique will be used for the call.
