Within the mobile station is composed a request for service (25) including a code for use by the server in determining operational capabilities of the mobile station. The request for service is then sent from the mobile station to the server. The server uses the code to determine operational capabilities of the mobile station (33), and then provides a level of service to the mobile station commensurate with the operational capabilities of the mobile station (35).
