Hi Peter:
Not sure if you have figured out how to do this yet but if not, try this. After you find the contact you want to edit, double tap it. Next, find the edit button at the top right of the screen, it’s just below the statis bar, directly below your battery level indicator. Next, swipe through the first and last name fields. If you are seeing a remove mobile, or remove home, or whatever the case may be, this is not the button you want to tap on. Swipe to the next button, it should just say, mobile, or home, or whatever the current label is. Double tap here. Next, swipe through until you find the label you want and double tap it. Next, double tap the done button which is also at the top right of the screen. HTH.

Sorry Richard, your details do not match my edit screen. Maybe my using IOS 26.5.2 makes a difference. There is no label mobile, there is "remove mobile". When in edit, I flick right, bast the text fields for names and hear: remove mobile mobile button 555-5555 When I double tap the "remove mobile" there is only delete. Some of the contacts have the label "remove home". Peter T. On 7/12/2026 9:01 PM, 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone wrote: Open the contact. Double tap on edit.

When starting to use the Iphone I created a contact with the phone number in the appropriate field. I didn't know about designating it as Home or Mobile. Some contacts cards have phone numbers designated as mobile but they are not mobile. When asking Siri to call she sometimes asks if I want "mobile", there is only 1 number and it is Home. Can they be changed to Home when designated mobile? Peter T. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
