Wi-Fi CALLING OPT-IN SCREEN (Sprint)

September 2015

After investigating low Wi-Fi Calling adoption rates, researchers discovered a blocker. Solving this issue fulfills a business initiative to ease data network traffic and save costs.

  • Challenge

    How might we revise an existing Wi-Fi Calling Opt-in flow with new research findings?

    Duration: 1 week
    Users: Smartphone customers

  • My Role

    Wireframing

  • Outcomes

    An improvement in the Wi-Fi Calling adoption rates was notices after a software upgrade push.

What makes this project notable?

This project is a good example of effective user research. As the designer, this was an easy project. Our researchers did the heavy lifting. They located the user drop-off spot in the flow, identified the reasons, then confirmed the company’s liabilities with the legal team.

After being presented with the findings, all I had to do was revise the flow accordingly and with measurable results.

Research identified that most users abandoned the opt-in flow after a 9-1-1 registration fail. Wi-Fi Calling is not enabled and there is no retry option.

With research findings, the opt-in flow was revised to include address suggestions (for covering typos), force submit (for unregistered addresses i.e., housing development) and multiple retry attempts.

    User research is vital to an efficient design practice in an organization.
