The family had failed to update the VoIP provider, there was already a
big stink over the incident in the US that involved VoIP because the
call wouldn't connect to emergency services, but the provider had no way
to know that the family had moved in this case.

The only way round this would be some kind of location based system
similar to those deployed for mobile phones. Although in Australia at
one stage there was talk about emergency services verifying the address
when the person called if the line was flagged as a VoIP service, but
I'm not sure where things are at exactly.
