mark it as deprecated.<br>
<br>
At least not as long as we do not have a proper way to tag multiple<br>
kinds of phone numbers and are dealing with non-sense like phone_2=*,<br>
phone_3=* etc automatically generated by the iD editor.<br>
<br>
One frequent use case I run into is the distinction of landline phone<br>
numbers and mobile phone numbers. The latter can be tagged by using<br>
contact:mobile=* which is also properly used by data users like OsmAnd.<br>
In my eyes even contact:website=* is not necessarily illogical as many<br>
websites provide means to get in contact with the POI.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
