Begins With	Use this to specify which numbers the rule will apply to by matching the starting digits from left to right.
Length	Use this field to apply rules based on the length of the number. All characters including dashes, plus signs and numbers are counted in the length field.
Number of Front Digits to Remove	Strip digits from a number matched by a Dial Rule. Digits are removed from left to right.
Applied Prefix	Populate this field to prefix digits on numbers matching a Dial Rule. The Applied Prefix occurs subsequent to the Digits Removed function.

Hong Kong	852-xxxx-xxx	852	10	12
England	+44.xx.xxxx.xxxx	44	12	16

Use case:

Prefix 9011 to all above international numbers then rile should like as follows.

• Match only digits: enabled
• Begins With: REGEX:(33|852|44)
• Length: 10,11,12
• Number of digits to be removed: 0
• Applied Prefix: 9011

Example 2: Applying rules on domestic numbers with different formats and lengths.

• Length: 10,11
• Number of digits to be removed: 0
• Applied Prefix: [9|^1.10$,91|^.10$]

*if use case is to prefix 91 to all Domestic numbers such as +1(xxx)-xxx-xxxx, 1(xxx)-xxx-xxxx and (xxx)-xxx-xxxx, populating Applied Prefix field with [9|^1.10$,91|^.10$]. this will convert the numbers to 91xxxxxxxxxx.
