A contact can have many telephone numbers assigned to it. A telephone number can have a phone type, description, number and default status to describe it.
Phone type: This indicates what type of telephone number this is, for example: mobile, landline or fax number — the properties found in this drop down come from the Phone Type code table (this means that the system administrator can add or remove telephone types from this list)
Description: This is a brief description to identify a number, for example: After Hours.
Number: The number is the actual telephone number for example: 0944 27 555–2323.
Default: This indicates the main telephone number for this contact and is displayed on the main contact form. Only one telephone number can be set as the default telephone number.
