44 is *not* UK landline, you shouldn't even have a rate for it. 44 is 
the country code. A (very) brief summary is:

441 Landline
442 Landline
443 Landline (at least for billing)
447 Mobile
4470 Personal rate (rarely used, expensive)
44800/8 Freephone
4484/5 Special Services Lower Rate
4487 Special Services Higher Rate
449 Premium rate

Having a correct rates table / normalising and validating your inputs 
(as in FILTER) would both have potentially stopped the attack.
