That is 13 lines that *I* quoted from your email, you quoted a lot more
from the previous email (the entire email in fact)

No, I put 2 setcidnum entries, one for each destination prefix...

Hmmm, thinking... perhaps something like this:
exten => _9.,1,SetCIDNum(212-433-3344)
exten => _9.,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@<router IP>,15,tr)

The only advantage to the previous config is that you don't need to wait
DigitTimeout or whatever, for the dial to complete....

Maybe this would work as well:
exten => _9,1,SetCIDNum(2124333344)
exten => _9,2,DISA(something??)


There are probably many other ways to accomplish this, I'm sure there
should be a simple method using a macro, and different contexts, but I
just can't think properly at the moment, (it's past my bedtime)...

PS, also, consider that finding the solution to your request might cost
you more than simply using the solution you already have. Though you
probably should use a variable instead of hard-coding the phone number
in multiple places...
