Some countries allocate set prefixes to carriers which can be reliable if number porting doesn't enter the equation:

That list isn't very useful in this context unfortunately. There is no reliable mapping between area code and provider in North America.

Until the number gets ported to a different provider..

Oh, wow. Which is why my last 7 words were "if number porting doesn't enter the equation"
