Dialing 9 for an outside line is a common practice in many organizations to separate internal phone calls from external ones. This system helps manage and route calls more efficiently, ensuring that internal calls can be connected directly without interference. By requiring a specific digit, such as 9, it also aids in preventing accidental dialing of outside numbers from internal extensions. This practice can streamline communication and enhance security within the phone system.

*67 is the code in North America (USA, Canada, etc.) to block your caller ID from being sent, on a per-call basis. (If you are on a rotary or pulse-dial phone, you can use 1167 instead of *67.) This code should always be the very first thing dialed, before any other codes or prefixes. For example, if you want to block caller ID and also cancel call waiting, you should dial *67 first, then *70. So, to dial a long distance call with caller ID blocked, dial:*67 (or 1167) first,then other "star codes" such as *70,then the long distance company code (if applicable): 101xxxx,then the long distance prefix 1,then the area code and number.
