Hello Lala70,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! You've got a great question, and I'd like to help, so you can set a different number for a contact's default phone number.


The steps to change the default contact method vary a bit between iOS 12 and iOS 13.


For iOS 12: To change the default contact method (for a call, for example), touch and hold the call button, then tap a phone number.


For iOS 13: To change the default phone number or email address for a contact method, touch and hold the button for that method below the contact’s name, then tap a selection in the list.


This information is found in the iPhone User Guide.


Cheers!
