Subselects to Joins? Or: how to design phone calls database

I have a table called 'calls' which holds 'call detail records'. Let's
assume the table looks like this:

CREATE TABLE cdr (
call_id serial,
phone_number text
);

And I have a table with country call prefixes, that looks like this:

CREATE TABLE prefixes (
prefix text,
country text
);

And now some test data:

INSERT INTO prefixes VALUES ('1', 'USA');
INSERT INTO prefixes VALUES ('44', 'UK');
INSERT INTO prefixes VALUES ('385', 'Croatia');
INSERT INTO prefixes VALUES ('387', 'Bosnia');
INSERT INTO prefixes VALUES ('64', 'New Zeland');
INSERT INTO prefixes VALUES ('642', 'New Zeland Mobile');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (1, '11952134451');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (2, '448789921342');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (3, '385914242232');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (4, '385914242232');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (5, '645122231241');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (6, '444122523421');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (7, '64212125452');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (8, '1837371211');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (9, '11952134451');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (10, '448789921342');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (11, '385914242232');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (12, '385914242232');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (13, '645122231241');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (14, '4441232523421');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (15, '64112125452');
INSERT INTO calls VALUES (16, '1837371211');

Now, if I want to have a 'join' between those two tables, here is what I
am doing right now:

SELECT
call_id,
phone_number,
(SELECT
country
FROM
prefixes
WHERE
calls.phone_number LIKE prefix || '%'
ORDER BY
length(prefix) DESC LIMIT 1
) AS country
FROM calls;

Is there a way I could use join here? I can do something like:

SELECT ... FROM calls JOIN prefixes ON calls.phone_number LIKE prefix || '%'

but I'd get duplicate rows there (for instance, for New Zeland calls,
from my test data).

Or should I add 'prefix' field to the calls table, and then do a inner
join with prefixes table?
