We do not generally contact phoneboxes.

It cannot be seen from the “phone”-key that this is the case though. I’m happy with loosing the subtle differences that may make  “contact:”-prefixed tags slightly more specific, in exchange for more universally usable “almost-equal” more generic tags without the prefix.
