1. A wireless network including:
- a radio tower adapted to receive radio frequency signals from, and transmit radio frequency signals to, at least one wireless device;
a system of computers programmed to perform steps of referencing performance of the at least one wireless device with wireless network known parameters and routinely storing performance data for the at least one wireless device, wherein the system of computers further receives the performance data and suggests at least one corrective action in conformity with a comparison of the performance data and the wireless network known parameters; and
another one or more computers other than the system of computers, wherein at least one of the another one or more computers is coupled in communication with the system of computers, wherein the system of computers is programmed to provide an indication of location of the at least one wireless device to the another one or more computers, and wherein the another one or more computers, responsive to a communication from the at least one wireless device, set a no access flag within a memory of at least one of the another one or more computers, and wherein the another one or more computers provides access to an indication of location of the at least one wireless device from the another one or more computers if the no access flag is reset and denies access to the indication of location of the at least one wireless device from the another one or more computers if the no access flag is set.

Abstract
A mobile device, wireless network and their method of operation provide suggestion of corrective actions of the network based on performance evaluation of communications between a connected mobile device and the communications network. The communications network tracks location of mobile devices and stores performance data of connections between the mobile devices and the network. The performance data is referenced to expected performance data to determine whether a fault exists and a corrective action is suggested when the fault exists. Access to the location information by another computer is controlled by a preference flag set in response to a communication from the mobile device.
