The UK telephone numbering plan is seemingly moderately complex and it's not entirely possible to make the perfect dial plan from. For example, you can have 10 and 11 digit 0800 numbers meaning that the 10 digit ones will have to wait on the timeout of the “Anything else” rule.

The below UK dialplan.xml file is tested and shown to work.

Code: Select all
