No, there isn't. US phone numbers have been movable between carriers

There is a national database -- obviously, because the incoming calls
have to get routed to the right carrier.  I seem to have misplaced the
name of this database; it's operated under an FCC contract by an
organization called the Number Portability Administration Center.
Every phone call and SMS message requires a lookup in this database.

Originally, calls would be routed on the basis of the local exchange
carrier to which the NPA-NXX was assigned, and then numbers which had
been "ported out" would be kicked back to the originating carrier with
a "not our number" message to force a database lookup.  These days,
it makes sense to just do the database dip unconditionally.  (There's
caching in the carrier networks to minimize their database access
charges.)

As I said in the other message, https://www.whitepages.com/ and the
reverse number lookup did give my carrier. I have not moved carriers in
over 20 years though so someone who has would have to verify that it
still gives the right carrier.

Interesting, thanks!
