Use different icons for each type of phone number.

HI Syd,
That’s an awesome idea! Now we’ll just have to find some icons.
Interesting — before we had the call button we used to have the type of phone number in text on the right. Maybe we should combine the two instead. I’ll give it some thought.

Hi Conrad,
A couple of interesting alternatives just came to me. The first letters for h-ome, o-ffice, f-fax, m-obile in a bold font would work better with the current formatting.
Switching the icon with the description that is in a light font to the far right might be another way to improve the UX.

Since the number is very close to the icon, you could use an icon of a build to denote office, house to denote home, and a mobile phone (candy-bar form factor) to denote a mobile number.
Another alternative would be to use a portable phone icon for home, a multi-line or traditional handset for office and mobile the same as above.
Hope this gives you a few suggestions to get the creative juices flowing.
Cheers,

It would be so much faster than reading it or waiting for the tool-tip to pop-up.
