Although ISPs can provide this information, it is normally only given out as a result of a court order. Prior to that, you will need log entries that show the exact date and time of the incident (down to the second!) for the ISP to identify the actual user of their system at that moment. Most IP addresses are assigned dynamically for consumer Internet accounts and change frequently.
If someone is on a shared system, you will only be able to get information on the location of the gateway, not the exact person behind the firewall. Business grade firewalls may log enough information for them to determine the user, but you'll need a second court order for that information. Consumer grade firewalls and routers don't log enough information for a long enough period of time to nail that down.
The geographic data from whois look-ups is notoriously incomplete or just downright wrong. Depending on the scope of the look-up, my home IP shows up in New Jersey or in Saint Louis although I'm actually in SW MO, about 300 miles from STL. This will help you identify the ISP where you need to take your complaint, but won't reliably identify the location of the offending machine.

i do not trust that's obtainable, the most you will be able to determine out is the city they're in and probably the corporate they'd be linked with in the experience that they are using a company laptop or something. you heavily isn't waiting to determine out someones call through an IP address besides the undeniable fact that.

to the first part nope, that information is not given out..
but if the ip address is a website.
if u goto http://www.dnsstuff.com and u can get the address of the owner of that webiste or the company that runs it etc..
if its a personal ip address, all u would be able to get is there ISP and town/city and country.

Nope. You cannot get that much information from just an IP address, although you'd be able to know their net provider and their general location. :)

Yes it is possible you will need a court order and contact the ISP with the court order and then you can get the information. If you can't do that then there is no way you can get the information you are wanting.

it is not publicly available.
Only the Internet Service Provider can tell WHERE the ip address is located.

It's possible, yes, but not realistic.
