We implemented a macro that stripped the leading 6 digits from the 
numbers, like this:

; If it looks like one of ours, only show the last 4 digits
exten => s,40,GotoIf($["${CALLERIDNUM:0:8}" = "60498131"]?50:)
exten => s,50,SetCallerID,"${CALLERIDNAME} <${CALLERIDNUM:-4}>"

AFAIK, Voicemail() will jump to n+101 if the requested mailbox doesn't 
exist - you can use that to return to the prompt asking for the mailbox 
number.
