Quick Answer
How do you add multiple phone numbers to one contact?
Open Contacts, select or create a contact, click the pencil icon next to the phone field, add the additional numbers, assign labels such as Mobile, Work, Home, or Landline, select the radio button beside the primary number, and save the contact.
How Multiple Phone Numbers per Contact Work
BizStackPro lets you store multiple phone numbers under one contact record so the contact does not need to be duplicated for every line they use.
Each saved number can be labeled, making it easier to distinguish between mobile, work, home, landline, office, or other numbers.
One number can be selected as the primary phone number, while the remaining numbers stay available for calling from the same contact record.
The first number becomes primary by default
If you do not manually select a primary number, the first phone number entered is treated as the contact's primary number.
