Services are provided based on the locations, rather than the NPA.NXX identifiers, of called and calling parties. Party location based services can be provided to the called party, to the calling party, or both. Services can include an indication of the location of each party. Services also can include an indication of charges as determined by the location of the parties, rather than the NPA.NXX identifiers. Services can be provided if the parties are using a mobile communications devices, such as a cellular phone, wireline systems (e.g., landline phones), or a combination thereof. In an example configuration, location can be provided in a hierarchy of various levels of accuracy/precision. Different levels can be representative of different resolutions of geography. An example system for facilitating party location based services includes a signaling system number 7 (SS7) network.
