married contacts and mobile phones
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. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

married contacts and mobile phones
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.
