What about 10 digit national dialling? (Eg. South Brent - 01364, same
prefix as me, but 5 digit local numbers starting with 7)

If it's asterisk, 221 should have a higher priority over _[23]XXXXX

And if your local numbers are all exactly 6 digits, then just
_XXXXXX will work, as that'll match exactly 6 digits rather than 3, no
matter what the start digits are.

Of-course, if it's not asterisk, I know a man who could upgrade you to
one :)
