Abstract
For calls involving a wireless device on a wireless wide area network, a network entity may create an electronic record for the call that includes an indication of whether the call was established with vocoder bypass. A service provider of the wireless wide area network may then use the indications in the electronic records, at least in part, as a basis for billing a user of the wireless device. The service provider may additionally use the electronic records to generate statistics about the usage of the wireless wide area network.
