I am having an issue matching toll-free. I tested my regex on regex101.com, and it looks good, but it does not match my if statement. Am I doing something wrong?

        if (method=="INVITE") {
                xlog("L_INFO", "Checking Routes $rU");
                if ($rU=~"^(\+?1)?(8(00|44|55|66|77|88)[2-9]\d{6})$") {
                        xlog("L_INFO", "Tollfree call");
                };
        };

Logs show "<script>: Checking Routes +18002211212" so I don't get why it does not match.
