How to use this address

These codes are used in the follow places:

The following codes are defined:

homeA communication contact at a home; attempted contacts for business purposes might intrude privacy and chances are one will contact family or other household members instead of the person one wishes to call. Typically used with urgent cases, or if no other contacts are available.
workAn office contact. First choice for business related contacts during business hours.
tempA temporary contact. The period can provide more detailed information.
oldThis contact is no longer in use (or was never correct, but retained for records)
mobileA telecommunication device that moves and stays with its owner. May have characteristics of all other use codes, suitable for urgent matters, not the first choice for routine business
