It is not as bad as it looks. The only important columns are the first two,
the last two are how you dial from within the country to place long distance
international or national calls. In many countries, when there are several
low cost international call providers, they use different prefixes,
actually, it is quite absurd that they list all options for low cost
carriers for, say, Venezuela, while they don't for the USA where there are
as many or more.
The only tough part is that several countries, share the +1 prefix, the USA
and Canada are the larger, but many Caribean countries, which originally got
their service through the US phone system, are also mixed in. So, in those
cases, you have to check through the 'area codes'. A similar thing happens
with the ex-Soviet republics, they all share the 7 prefix.
As for the rest, it is quite straighforward.
1 is North America
2 is Africa
3 and 4 Europe
5 rest of the Americas
6 Oceania
7 Russia and ex-soviet republics
8 FarEast
9 rest of Asia
Most prefixes are of varying lenghts. The countries with the most phone
lines get the shorter prefixes so the overall number is more or less the
same for all. Thus, Mexico and Brazil get two digit codes in the 5 range
while smaller Nicaragua gets three.

Seems like you'll have a hard time if you want to include all the
possibilities:

But probably Rob (Cummings) will come up with a "solve-it-all" regex that
will
save your day.
