Abstract
Systems and methods for performing emergency communications testing are disclosed. Network components, such as a text control center, may be configured to recognize a short code in a text message and enter an emergency communications testing mode for the user device that transmitted the short code. In testing mode, the network components may process emergency communications by determining the emergency processing data (e.g., routing instructions, appropriate PSAP, etc.) and providing that information to the user device rather than forwarding such communications to an emergency services provider. The network component may revert to normal operation after a period of time or after processing a predetermining number of emergency communications.
