[asterisk-biz] NPA-NXX to City, State Database

[C F]

Well, Queens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens) is what it's
commonly called and it's the county. The USPS will usually use town
names (i.e. Flushing, NY) for towns within Queens, so will people that
live there.
When I make a phone call to Queens I will see on my bill the same
towns the USPS uses.
