Various embodiments describe methods, systems, and devices for establishing a packet cable multi-media (PCMM) session. Exemplary implementations may receiving, a call initiation request message; determine whether a negative PCMM response associated with the call initiation request message is received; determine whether to ignore the negative PCMM response based on a call preferences parameter associated with the first UE in response to determining that the negative PCMM response is received; and establish a call associated with the call initiation request message in response to determining to ignore the negative PCMM response based on the call preferences parameter associated with the first UE.
