Abstract
Systems, methods and non-transitory computer-readable mediums are provided for an entitlement system and method having an E911 address check bypass function. Methods provided herein include receiving a request from a mobile device for enabling voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) service and checking E911 address status. Methods further include applying a filter to the request to determine that the E911 address check can be bypassed and transmitting a response to the mobile device indicating that E911 address status is not required and that VoWiFi connection is permitted, thereby bypassing the E911 address check.
