I like to delete my non existant primary HOME phone contact. I have no home conact. But Paypal requis it. I have a mobile and my primary Mobile Phone Contact is correct. Currently I´m not able to delete the primary Home Phone contact.
Why do i need this? Paypal shares this non existant home contact to vendors.
Hopefully my primary home contact can be deleted and emptied. Hopefully my primary mobile contact is enough in the future.

PayPal has simply swung and missed. I do have a backup number that is VOIP. Will PayPal accept and store that? No they will not. The number I cannot remove remains listed as my home number even though I deleted the service 4 years ago.
