Abstract
A method of operating a communication system to process emergency service calls is disclosed. A call request for an emergency service call from a mobile communication device is received. The call request includes a device identifier for the mobile communication device. A location capability database is queried using the device identifier to determine if the device identifier is in the location capability database. A default location capability is assigned if the device identifier is not in the location capability database. A location of the mobile communication device is determined using the default location capability if the device identifier is not in the location capability database.
