Not me (& I'm in the UK FWIW).

I'm trying to get my users into thinking of the phones in the same terms 
as they'd treat their mobiles - so get them to dial the full area code 
starting with a zero (no 9 for outside line here, although I do support it 
in addition to zero), and then pushing the send key after they have 
entered the number... My reasoning for this is that it then mimics the way 
they use their mobiles, (and who doesn't have a mobile these days?) and 
you can dial the full number in the UK anyway without incuring any cost or 
call routing issues (just time to dial the 4 or 5 digit prefix)
