Re: Correlating an IP address with a phone number

The fact that it is voice over IP doesn't change anything. I use my softphone all over the world-- Calls are sent and recieved from/to the same phone number, but from/to a different IP each time.

How about with VoIP, has anyone figured out how to correlate an IP
with phone number?

Greetings in return,


A Simple Answer: No.

A Longer Answer: No - At least not without a court order. IP addressing
has nothing to do with the telephone numbering system - and most IP
addresses are dynamic in the first place (as in, the IP address is
different every time the subscriber connects to the Internet) - but you
may 'request' (see "court order" in the last sentence) the contact
information of a subscriber who was using a certain IP at a certain
time, under certain circumstances, from their ISP.
