Leif, ever heard of direct inward dialing and PRI?

You can actually own a block of numbers like 01234567xxxx.
You are free to map these xxxx DID numbers to extensions or do
what ever you like. And it is guaranteed that nothing in the
01234567... range will ever be assigned to a different PSTN
subscriber.
