[thelist] Finding Cell providers by prefix of mobile number.

[Warbasse Design - Info]

Indeed, I have heard that in the States they are going to do this at some
point.  I know consumers are all for it.  Thanks.  Still looking for a list
of prefixes to Network Provider (we will keep in the States)

Thanks for you input.

Best,
Phil Warbasse
