I have something like this for the Great Britain here:
http://www.nearby.org.uk/
and enter something like 01342 into the box.
The data is pretty old now, and haven't actually looked if there is more
up-to-date list available somewhere. (but know you can get a list of
postcodes for the main telephone exchanges that cover each area code, which
would then be simple to geocode)

Subject: [Geowanking] Telephone number (area code) to geo coord?
There are plenty of resources and services out there for geocoding from
physical address, or IP address, but i haven't seen anything for geocoding
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.
