NANP geographical numbers can be located to a switch (give or take number portability within a LATA), but non-geographic numbers can really go anywhere. On the third hand, it's still true that the large majority of them are in the U.S.
Would you agree that 408-921 is a geographic number?
No. It's a prefix, assigned to the at&t switch in west San Jose.
I guarantee you that there are phones within that prefix within US/Calif/LATA-1 and also some well outside of that, probably not even in the same country.
Who said anything about phones? Could you describe what "geographic numbers can be located to a switch" means to you? Helpfully, John
