Why can I no longer add a home or office phone number?

We are constantly refining the Skype profile experience, which means we may sometimes remove extraneous fields from the profile. To consolidate and simplify the Skype profile experience, we have recently removed the Home and Office phone number options as a part of the latest update. There is an option to remove your current Home and Office numbers from your Skype profile if you already have them. These numbers will be inactivated in your profile, they cannot be updated, but you can remove them. Those phone numbers may not be searchable in Skype in the future as a result of future updates.
