Ok, makes more sense. I never had a problem with dialing rules as long as it was planned properly.
Hopefully this leads to a more easily crafted dial plan to put many nxx's in a custom dialplan to use least cost routing. Right now we deal with areas that have dozens of nxx's covered under a different local npa, and are dialed without the npa under tariff with the lec. There's no way to import those, so you have to craft dozens one at a time.
