Currently, it must be a website for reverse directory lookups yes.

So at 52 states and 10 area codes per state +/- thats 520 area codes that would need to be in the XML file to cover the US,correct?
Only if you need to use a different website for every state/area code. I don't think that is the case, though I suppose it's possible.

As far as I know, the international pattern would be +1xxxyyyzzzz, where xxx is the area code. I've also heard that even for normal domestic traffic, GSM signaling always include the area code. But if there are problems with area codes anyway, I'd like to hear about it and try to fix it. That's one reason the diagnostics in the terminal window can be useful, so it's possible to know what the program sees (and whether that has an area code and long-distance prefix etc).
