Techniques are described for obtaining current location data for a non-traditional telephony endpoint for emergency calling purposes. An emergency services (ES) provider receives, from a telephony server responding to a telecommunication session establishment request from a telephony endpoint, a location registration request, the location registration request including telephony endpoint identification information and a mobile device telephone number. The ES provider may send a short message service (SMS) message to the mobile device telephone number, the SMS message including an executable registration link that when executed on a mobile device receiving the SMS message causes the mobile device to retrieve location data of the mobile device. The ES provider may then receive the current location data from the mobile device and store it and the telephony endpoint identification information for subsequent use should a 911 call be made from that telephony endpoint. The ES provider may then send the telephony server an authorization acknowledgement for the telecommunication session establishment request.

Techniques for registering an internet protocol (IP) endpoint for emergency services calling

Techniques are described for obtaining current location data for a non-traditional telephony endpoint for emergency calling purposes. An emergency services (ES) provider receives, from a telephony server responding to a telecommunication session establishment request from a telephony endpoint, a location registration request, the location registration request including telephony endpoint identification information. The ES provider may push a quick response (QR) code to the telephony endpoint, the QR code when scanned by a mobile device causes the mobile device to retrieve its current location data. The ES provider may then receive the current location data from the mobile device and store it and the telephony endpoint identification information for subsequent use should a 911 call be made from that telephony endpoint. The ES provider may then send the telephony server an authorization acknowledgement for the telecommunication session establishment request.

A software development system is provided for creating and testing applications. The software development system includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a processor in communication with the medium. The processor is configured to create voice and/or messaging applications for use in a telecommunication system; provide the created voice and/or messaging applications to a voice/messaging server in a test environment through the telecommunications system, wherein the voice/messaging server in the test environment loads the created voice and/or messaging application into the server to test the created voice and/or messaging application therein; directly interact with the created voice/messaging application loaded onto the server in the test environment using a virtual test device embedded in the software development system to execute test scripts associated with the created voice/messaging application in the test environment; and directly receive test results associated with the created voice/messaging application from the server at the software development system.
