what the “instant message” field under a contact?

Hi all,


I recently opened a contact and noticed there was a new field labeled “instant message” with a strange number below it, when I click it, it does nothing. It showed up randomly. I checked my other contacts and no one else has it. Does anyone know what this is?


thanks!

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

Perhaps composing a message addressed to that number will reveal the vendor.
