Here is the standard 10 digit NANP (North American Numbering Plan) dial pattern:
NXXNXXXXXXFrom above, we can see that this pattern could also be written as:
[2-9]XX[2-9]XXXXXXIt is common for NANP numbers to have the leading digit 1 (country code), but note you can't represent both number formats with a single pattern. You must use two separate patterns:
NXXNXXXXXX
1NXXNXXXXXXNot stated above, digits are permitted in dial patterns of course. If you want to create a dial pattern(s) to match all numbers for area code 920:
920NXXXXXX
