edit Other dialing formatsIn most cases VSCs can also be accessed from rotary phones by dialing - 11 - instead of the - * - prior to the code ( - 1167 - instead of - *67 - will typically work on any North American telephone to enable Caller ID privacy), or on some carriers, by dialing the code alone (activating after a pause). Because of historical usage by some telephone switch manufacturers, in some areas VSCs may also be dialed by placing a - # - (hash or pound key) after the code, instead of a - * - before it ( - 72# - instead of - *72 - for Call Forwarding).
