Abstract

A method determines whether a given mobile communication device is eligible to register for a particular service. A first database tracks the equipment capabilities of various mobile devices. A second database tracks which regions, of a plurality, of geographic regions are eligible to receive the service. These databases are checked when the system receives a request to register for the service.
