Abstract

Systems and methods for providing special handling for certain types of communications are provided. More particularly, a normally secured access point can permit emergency communications to be transmitted in connection with unauthorized communication devices. Supplemental communications, for example to websites included in a predefined list by a communication device, can also be permitted once an emergency communication by that communication device has been allowed. Accordingly, emergency communications can be supported, while continuing to limit access with respect to non-emergency communications.
