[Asterisk-Users] country/city codes

[Nir Simionovich]

Very simple, lets take Israel and Palesatnian authority. Israel's country
code is 972, mobile area codes are 2 digits, local area codes are 1 digit, 
and there is a special area code, which is a subset of a 1 digit area code,
which is East Jerusalem, which uses the following 9722201 and 9722202 and 
a couple more which have different billing.

In the above case, your formula would fail, as it will simply pick up the
entire 9722 as a single area code, where in fact it's more than one. Where
in fact, it should have picked up 972+2+201. 

Oh, just to show the importance, calls to 97223xxxxx are usually charged at
3c a minute, calls to 9722201 are charged at 15c a minute. 

See the difference? Math doesn't solve everything.

Care to give an example of where it fails? We've been using it for 6 months,
no problems.
