a/ Your provider needs to support setting other CALLERID values than the
numbers he assigned to you, and even allow for international numbers. As
an example, sipgate.de allows to set any german number as CALLERID, but
no international phone numbers will work. Providers often suppress
wrongly set CALLERIDs, replacing with the "default" CALLERID assigned to
the phone line / account.

b/ Besides 440207... probably is wrong, should be 44207...

c/ You have several _8.,2, lines (identical), one is enough.

And then, I do not know wether that pattern matching will work
correctly ;-)
