I also forgot to mention that the users prefer dialling 9 before an
external call.

That would be an awfully complex dial plan to construct - I would have
to discover all the 5 digit number ranges - I think I'll leave them
having to press Tick on those!

Yes, though the useful thing about the dial plan I posted is that the
Snom initiates the call as soon as the third digit is dialled (so long
as it starts with a 2, 3 or 4)....or a 7 or 12 digit number beginning
with 9.

So, if the user intends to dial 222333, the phone will dial 222 as soon
as the third 2 is keyed (without the need to press tick)
