I'm sure it's too much to hope for accurate location using the full
number -
like a E-911 service would have, with access to phone company
proprietary
database. But, i imagine that something much simpler should be
possible
with public data, say, approximate coords from a USA area code.
Perhaps
international city codes are publicly known as well.
The company that controls this in the US is http://www.neustar.biz/
index.cfm
They control the North American Numbering Plan Administration:
http://www.nanpa.com/
http://www.nanpa.com/area_codes/index.html
The latter has a downloadable database along with a set of field
definitions.
Not sure how detailed the database is.
