<< operator is usually implemented as a non-member function,and it should be a friend function.If be a member function,you must use it as'object << cout',it is opposite to general use of <<.

This is not 100% true. I prefer defining it in the class.
This very simple example will explain what's the benefit.

class Mytest {
friend ostream& operator << (ostream& o, const Mytest& c) { return o << "test " << c.tel; }
int tel;
};

int main() {
Mytest t;
cout << t <<endl;
}

Using it in the class will make many thing simpler.
The most significant thing is you can access to local protected and private variables and functions.

class Mytest {
    friend ostream& operator << (ostream& o, const Mytest& c) { return o << "test " << c.tel;  }
    int tel;
};

int main() {
    Mytest t;
    cout << t <<endl;
}
