ESRI's ArcWeb Services has this in their Address Finder Web Service.
You can try it out in their ArcWeb Explorer. Type in a phone number in
the "Find". However, it is U.S. only as far as I know.

Depends on how accurate you want to be.

This Yahoo example handles Area code to State:

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

which probably uses data from the Nanpa database:

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