** iOS dialer implements this as "favorite" (displayed as a star * to the far right of the phone number) and allows more than one number to be a "favorite". However only the ''first'' such number listed is exported as a vCard tel type:pref. The other numbers' "favoriteness" is lost upon export from iPhone (email contact etc.). iOS fails to respect this "pref" type upon vCard import - thus fails roundtrip (on its own or across devices). | |||
** Android AB implements this as "default" (displayed as a checkmark to the right of the specific number) and allows only one number to be the "default". Android also exports this as vCard tel type:pref. Android also fails to respect this "pref" type upon vCard import - thus fails roundtrip (on its own or across devices). | |||
