Hi,
You can use a service called "HLR Lookup", usually presented in a web-based
API, to find out
definitively what network a number is on.
Here's one I've used:

Yes, it does cost per lookup. This is the only scriptable way I know of to
find out if a number
is on a certain network though. Or you could take your chances and assume
087 = vodafone
etc - you'll be right I'd guess about 90% of the time.
