Jeroen, I'm trying to avoid rewriting the outgoing block for the
patterns mentioned above. I've placed a pseudo dial-plan below. The
plan needs to dial the 1 and/or also the area code depending on the
pattern they enter. Any tips, thanks.

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(Outgoing=${CUT(CHANNEL,/,2)})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Set(Outgoing=${CUT(Outgoing,-,1)})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,GotoIf($["${Outgoing}" = "201"]?20:10)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,10,Set(CALLERID(all)=${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,10,Set(CALLERID(all)=${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
exten => _NXXXXXX,10,Set(CALLERID(all)=${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)
exten => _NXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Goto(h,1)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,n,Goto(h,1)
exten => _NXXXXXX,n,Goto(h,1)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,20,Set(CALLERID(all)=${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound2)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Goto(h,1)
