I'm not familiar with the US dailplan so this may not be possible...
Does the state have an unique prefix? Can you send the call into the 
network with the state prefix ie, if your user is in Connecticut 
(lets say prefix is 123) and dials 211 you send it to your IC link 
with the provider you think operates the number with 123211.
