Abstract
A system and method for providing location information and other information about a calling telephone to the caller during a telephone connection in a data network telephony system. Data network telephones may be provisioned and otherwise configured for operation with an extensive database and other user account information. The user's account may include a location identifier that identifies the physical location of the telephone. The location identifier may provide address information, latitude and longitude configuration, directions, or other information. In one embodiment of the present invention, the location information is communicated in a data communications channel between the caller and the callee. In another embodiment of the present invention, the location information is communicated to the caller during call setup. The embodiments of the present invention are useful in providing emergency dispatch services, such as 911 in a data network telephony system.
