Primary Number For Contacts

I just have a simple question regarding the primary contact number that gets used when I call somebody. I have my mother saved to my favorites and would like it to dial her home phone number from that menu instead of her mobile number like it currently does. I can see the blue star in her contact info next to her mobile number which I presume indicates that as her primary number. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to switch it over to her home phone number. Any suggestions?

iPhone 3G 16GB, Other OS, Awkwardly posting this from my phone :-S

One thing that might help out.

Edit the favorites.
Remove the number that you do not want.
Tap done.
Now tap the plus button to add a favorite.
Scroll to the contact you want and tap on it.
If there are multiple numbers, you will get a chance to tap the number that you want in favorites.

Hope this helps.

The star means that it is designated as a "favorite," not that it is a primary number. You can designate either number or even both numbers as favorites if you so choose.
