Changing Phone Type Name

I would like the ability to change the phone type labels (ie. Home, Home2, etc) to phone types that are more colloquial. Some of the phone types are a bit archaic(wireless, fax, etc.) and we'd like to rename them to names users will better understand and use.

    I would like to be able to update the phone types to better reflect what we have in RE NXT and their actual use. We have "business/college" which no longer makes sense with everyone having a cell phone. Summer and Winter also seems unusable. It would be nice to have these as part of the User Profile Settings that can be updated.

    Agreed. We really only need phone types of "Primary" and "Secondary". There's no need to differential between Home and Wireless (most families no longer have a traditional "Land line", so their "Home" number IS their wireless one). And does anyone need Summer, Winter, or Fax line numbers? These phone types should be cleaned up.

    Yes, a business 2 or School Phone would be awesome. We have some parents who are our after school care teachers and have day jobs. We need their day job work phones for emergency purposes, but then it's listed in our staff phone directory, which isn't appropriate.
