Yes that works as well, and was issued by another company, the contact >
at FWD asked if we could route that to them as well, I prefer the other
range because it's shorter and we've always routed it like that so it's
easier for me to remember...

Technically no, but we do it anyways despite how much the ITU loves us
for doing it :) In the telephone world there is no equivalent to private
LAN IP ranges, we're hoping if we get enough support for what we're
doing to be allocated the +88299 range, (highly unlikely to funnier
things have been known to happen)

We have always offered blocks of 100 numbers in the +88299 range for
anyone that wants them, catch being that they're not really allocated by
anyone/body except our DNS zone... Any number ranges in our zone are
also accessible from FWD etc etc etc...
