married contacts and mobile phones

[maurice]

I've always entered married contacts together; that is, "Joe & Josephine
Punchclock" since this works best for my business. But it's become awkward
over the last few years since there's only one "mobile phone" field. I got
around this by using the note section in the "General" tab and listing the
individual numbers. But when I synch the contact data to my smartphone I
can't dial numbers directly from the note section. I've tried using other
fields like "assistant" or "pager" or "car phone" (do people even have these
anymore?) but it's just a poor work-around. I'm sure this has already been
suggested ad nauseum: can we label our own fields? ie. "Joe mobile" or
"Josephine mobile" What have others done with married contacts?

I tend to give married people a contact for each and then categorize them
with a family name category.

What about creating a contact "Joe Smith" and then add another contact from
the action menu as "new contact from same business" they will have the same
info but be two distinct contacts.
