Okay, if you're writing custom dialplan to control outbound calling, but
you want to utilize the FreePBX standard features, without using custom
modules, you can do something like the following, adjusting for your
specific situations of course:

[custom-local-only]
; local NANPA calling for area code 281
exten => _281NXXXXXX,1,Verbose(Outbound call from local-only context)
 same => n,Goto(${EXTEN},from-internal,1)

; extension-to-extension (internal) calling, assuming 2XXX internal
extension plan
exten => _2XXX,1,Verbose(Internal extension-to-extension call)
 same => n,Goto(${EXTEN},from-internal,1)

[custom-long-distance]
; long distance NANPA calling, dial a 1 to dial anything outside of a local
number
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Verbose(Outbound call from local and long-distance
context)
 same => n,Goto(${EXTEN},from-internal,1)

; allow local calls also, without having to dial a 1
include => custom-local-only
