Depends on how accurate you want to be.

This Yahoo example handles Area code to State:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/autocomplete/states_jsarray.html

via Programmable Web:
Phone Geocode: http://npa.rmlabs.net/index.php

which probably uses data from the Nanpa database:
http://www.nanpa.com/area_codes/index.html

Hope that helps some - no specific service, but the data to roll your own.

There are plenty of resources and services out there for geocoding from

from phone number.  Any pointers?

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.
