1. A method for forwarding emergency messages from a terminal in a communication network with an access network, comprising:
- using a network access identifier to identify the emergency messages from the terminal;
recognizing the emergency messages as such at the access network on the basis of the network access identifier; and
forwarding the emergency messages from the access network to an emergency connectivity services network, whereinthe network access identifier has a character string for identifying the terminal and a character string for addressing the emergency connectivity services network,the network access identifier includes characters for identification of a user profile,the access network and/or the emergency connectivity services network identify the user profile on the basis of the network access identifier, andthe user profile is used to set parameters for a communication link between the terminal and the emergency connectivity services network.

8. A system for forwarding emergency messages from a terminal in a communication network, with the emergency messages of the terminal being identified by a network access identifier, comprising:
-
an access network which recognizes the emergency messages as such on the basis of the network access identifier; and an emergency connectivity services network, to which recognized emergency messages are forwarded from the access network, wherein the network access identifier has a character string for identifying the terminal and a character string for addressing the emergency connectivity services network, the network access identifier includes characters for identification of a user profile, the access network and/or the emergency connectivity services network identify the user profile on the basis of the network access identifier, and the user profile is used to set parameters for a communication link between the terminal and the emergency connectivity services network.
