This would seem to come down to the question of what exactly it means 
to have or not have a route to a given calling number.

Validate it against basic NANPA form rules?  Look it up prefix-wise 
against a current list of currently allocated NANPA and Pooling 
blocks, or against the LERG?  See if at least one of your termination 
carriers has a specific route of a certain minimum prefix length (i.e. 
longer than just "1")?
