[asterisk-users] an easy way to deal with/without leading "1" ?

[Cary Fitch]

The ERC NPAs for Toll free are: 

Toll-Free Special Use NPAs

    * 800-NXX-XXXX
    * 888-NXX-XXXX
    * 877-NXX-XXXX
    * 866-NXX-XXXX
    * 855-NXX-XXXX 

Those are the US toll free NPAs.

The "Easily Recognizable Codes" (ERC) NPAs have identical last two digits.
NOT 881 for instance, but like, 211, 311, 511, 611, 911, 800, 888, 877, 866,
855, 900, 

Original area codes had the middle digit as a 1 or 0, like 512 or 201, but
as they ran out of those, other digits have been allowed, such as 361 or
832.

Cary,

You also forgot 880, 881, 882 although I'm not sure I've ever even come 
across one of those.
