I don't believe that to be well-formed XML. I suspect there is a parent
to those "elements" and if there is, it should look like this...

As child elements:
<parent>
  <number>3106799433</number>
  <name/>
  <dnis>2149</dnis>
  <state>active</state>
</parent>

or..
as attributes:
<parent number="3106799433" name="" dnis="2149" state="active"/>
