P.S. I think a solution lies in the general direction
of converting the entire world to use 112 for emergency
services and having the VoIP services set up an automated
system that rings back whenever your phone connects using
a different IP address and asks you where you are.

Ouch.  Those of us who don't tolerate flying well don't need that...

Few years ago, I got booked Roanoke-Dulles-SFO-Monterey on the way out, and
Monterey-LAX-OHare-Roanoke on the way back.  What I *needed* was for my phone
to ring while I was wandering OHare rather dazed and looking for something I
had spotted in Dulles, and *tell* me "Yo dude, pack it in, you're not in Dulles
this time"...
