I consider the numbering plan to be a flat space, thus there are digits that are wasted in dialing.
I don't want to go too deep into it, as I have a very strong opinion on this and its not entirely relevant to this, expect that I despise extra digits like 1-xxx-xxxx just to dial a call in my area code because its considered LD.
I set things up so you dial
NANPA - NPANXXyyyy dials a 10 digit NANPA number
- NXXyyyy dials a number in the same area code
Same should happen for outher countries as well.
(countrycode)number ie:
4420315xxxx
No 00, 011, 1 or other wasted telco digits.
Whats happening on the back end of things to make it work for carriers is another thing. ENUM sorta has the same theory for its look ups
(countrycode)number
VOIP should not carry over the mistakes of the telcos to its dialing mechanism just to keep people who probably shouldn't have VOIP any way happy. Like I said I have a very strong opinion on dialing mechanisms.

Alternately, you can send the call to an (unregistered) provider with no credit which results in a fast busy tone usually.
Some other replacement numbers you can try using, again via Sipbroker:
*258902 (Busy tone)
*266300 (Don't get too carried away with this one ......)
Note that the pattern test is for the full length of the number with

Thanks, I'll play with these to get things worked out. Thats what I needed was what numbers would generate busy, fast busy, messages.
