As for dangerous, IMO it as dangerous as any other 'regular' number, as those
can harbor high fee or automated services, too. A confirmation of "This is a
supplementary service call number. Are you sure ?" or sorts would be IMHO
enough of a warning, but I guess it's more of a policy question.

Skype/XMPP is an interesting angle - those are not related to your cellular
provider, so it makes far less sense to parse them there (who would send you
USSD codes ? friends ?), so, apart from the reason of consistency, it makes
sense to draw a line there (however, I would suggest ignoring the whole code in
that case, not treat it as partial numbers as now).

I don't have enough info to say whether 4/5 sender is a good filtration or not
(i.e. Can it be forged ? Are there providers who define a longer (or missing)
sender ?)
