Just in case you have not seen this:

This is the best tool I have found lookups short of the phone book.
And it weighs a lot less....

I don't know how to do what you're trying to do but I'll point out that
US area codes aren't a reliable predictor of whether or not a call is
local. Calls to a nearby area code can be local, and calls within an
area code can be long distance. To do this right, you'd need a list of
area codes and prefixes that are local to your gateways.
