In a particular embodiment a system and method for processing a call in a
Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) network are disclosed. The method
includes receiving the call associated with a private identifier (PRID)
at a server, classifying a call location based on the PRID and sending
the call from the server to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) with a
call back number associated with the PRID. The system includes a first
server interface for receiving a message containing a PRID associated
with the call, a second server interface to access the data base for
searching for the PRID in the data structure; a third server interface to
receive an output from the database indicating whether a PRID has been
found in the data structure; and a fourth server interface to send the
call to a PSAP.
