So we're good to keep `phone:mobile` for mappers who know if the number is a mobile one or landline.We can keep `phone:mobile` for explicit ones where you can say to 100% this is a mobile phone number and will be *generally* charged as such.CheersSören Reinecke alias Valor NaramPS: Don't be

Distinction between landline and mobile is technical, and often not clear. You cannot always distinguish mobile numbers form landline numbers by their numbering scheme. In the US here is no distinction as far as I am aware anyway. Here in Italy you may dial a number that looks like a landline but
