Default Area Code rules to exclude prefixes

You don't need to fill in hundreds of prefixes. Just make two separate area
code rules for this area code:
- Make the first rule a general rule by selecting "Include all the prefixes
within this area code". Check the boxes for "Dial:" and "Include the area
code", as necessary.
- Make the second rule the exception for your two prefixes that are local
dialing by selecting "Include only the prefixes in the list below". De-select
the "Dial" and "Incude the area code" boxes.

Btw, when you're looking for support, don't make it a suggestion for
Microsoft. Just ask your question.
