CLI operator guide
Current section: Overview
What ULOs do
Verify that a real call reached your phone.
CLI means Caller Line Identification. In this task, Unetwork sends or assigns a real inbound test call to a ULO phone.
The task checks whether the call reached your device and whether the caller ID details can be reported in the app. That helps Unetwork understand how live carriers perform across real countries, networks, and devices.
Why caller ID tasks matter
Caller ID quality can change by:
- Country
- Mobile operator
- Signal quality
- Phone type
- Call route
- Time of day
Reports from ULO devices show what actually happens on live networks, not just in lab tests.
Operator requirements
You need an active SIM or eSIM that can receive calls.
The test call is delivered through your mobile carrier. If your SIM cannot receive normal incoming calls, the task cannot be verified.
Incoming calls enabled
Your line must be reachable on the mobile network. Wi-Fi alone cannot receive a test call.
Unetwork app notifications enabled
Allow notifications and background activity so you see task alerts and can report quickly.
Phone powered on
If the phone is off, the SIM is disabled, or the network is unavailable, the call may not be received.
Does Wi-Fi matter?
Wi-Fi helps keep the app connected, but the call itself comes through your mobile number. SIM or eSIM service is required.
iOS and Android support
Caller ID CLI Testing supports both iOS and Android. On iPhone, PoW may show offline because of iOS background limits, but CLI tasks can still be available.
Reporting workflow
Missed calls can still count.
CLI tasks include a reporting window so ULOs can submit the requested details after a call is received or missed. Use the task window shown in the Unetwork app.
- 1
A test call is sent to your phone
It looks like a normal incoming call. The task checks whether the call reaches your device.
- 2
You do not need to answer
Letting the phone ring or missing the call can still be valid. Follow the report flow in the app.
- 3
Report within 24 hours
If you miss the call, open the Unetwork app and submit the report within the reporting window.
- 4
Submit what your phone shows
Enter the call details exactly as shown. If something looks wrong, report that instead of guessing.
Task availability
Task volume can be different for each ULO.
This is normal. Calls are assigned based on customer requests, countries, mobile carriers, and active testing campaigns.
- Your country and mobile carrier
- Current customer demand
- Regional coverage needs
- Active testing campaigns
Why a call may be missed
These settings or line issues can stop your phone or app from seeing the event:
- Phone powered off
- Battery optimization blocking the app
- Notifications disabled
- Poor mobile signal
- SIM inactive or out of balance
- Manufacturer background restrictions
Good setup
Keep your phone reachable and ready to report.
-
Keep your phone powered on and charged - Keep an active SIM or eSIM in the phone
- Make sure incoming calls work normally
- Allow Unetwork notifications and background activity
- Avoid strict battery-saving modes during testing
- Submit reports within 24 hours
- Keep the Unetwork app updated
Frequently asked questions
Fast answers for CLI operators.
Do I need to answer CLI calls?
No. The task checks whether a real call reaches your device. Answering is not required.
Can I participate on iPhone?
Yes. Caller ID CLI Testing supports iOS and Android. On iPhone, PoW may look offline because of background limits, but CLI tasks can still work.
Is Wi-Fi enough?
No. Wi-Fi can keep the app synced, but the call arrives over your mobile network. You need an active SIM or eSIM.
Can I use my everyday phone?
Yes. You can use your everyday phone if it has an active SIM or eSIM and can receive incoming calls.
Why do some operators receive more tasks?
Task volume varies by country, carrier, customer demand, and active campaigns. It is normal for ULOs to see different volumes.
If I miss a call, is the task automatically lost?
No. Missed calls may still be reportable. Open the app and submit within the 24-hour window shown for the task.
