What Unetwork does

Your phone can help test mobile networks.

Unetwork uses your phone to run telecom checks, helping service providers measure how their networks perform.

  1. 01

    Automated checks

    Your phone runs network tests and contributes valuable data to the network.

  2. 02

    Verify international calling routes

    Optional tasks to verify telecom routes function correctly across operators require taking small actions in the app.

  3. 03

    Confirm data integrity

    Caller ID and SMS checks help confirm that network data matches what was sent.

Why it exists

Why Unetwork exists

Telecom teams need real-world proof of how calls, texts, coverage, and connections behave on everyday phones.

  1. 01

    Real-world data

    Service providers need real-world network data.

    Network teams have limited visibility into what real phones experience at the edge.

  2. 02

    Phone-based checks

    Unetwork collects data at the edge

    Connected devices can test coverage, connectivity, international calling routes, SMS delivery, and Caller ID from real locations.

  3. 03

    Revenue share

    Participants can earn from the data they provide.

    When verified task data creates value for the network, participants can receive a share of the network revenue tied to completed work.

Reward factors

Reward levels depend on the value of the data.

Rewards can vary based on how useful the data is to clients, where it is collected, how reliable the device is, and whether the work is successfully validated.

  1. 01

    Client demand

    Data that clients need in a specific market or task type can carry more reward potential.

  2. 02

    Location and carrier

    Country, city, and mobile network carrier influence how useful the data is.

  3. 03

    Device quality

    Different phone brands and device types can produce data of different value.

  4. 04

    Uptime and permissions

    The phone needs to stay available to the network to maximise the chance of receiving tasks.

  5. 05

    Connection type

    Your operator and whether you use mobile data or Wi-Fi can affect task value.

  6. 06

    Successful validation

    Completed work must pass Unetwork validation before rewards are confirmed.

Earning potential

How much can you earn with Unetwork?

Rewards rise when your phone provides data that clients need and the work passes validation. Task demand, location, carrier, connection type, device quality, and validation all influence what completed work can be worth.

Your data has value

Unique, reliable data can earn more.

Keep your device connected and the app ready. The more useful the data is to clients, the stronger the reward potential.
