When adding a new contact, I"m confused when I get to the "phone contact numbers".
I only see Mobile and Home. I want to add a fax number, but it isn't available and it isn't offered in Add another field.

I can add as many phone numbers as I want on the iPhone. When you're in edit mode in the contact, there's always a blank line under current phone numbers where you can start typing a new one.
If you click on the label of the number, you can select a label (work, home) and even a custom label if you scroll to the bottom of the label selection list.
A custom label will have to suffice here. I have many contacts with their cell phones listed as 'mobile', and then a custom 'Google Voice' labeled number.
[edit]
An alternative to this is to make the change via Address Book.app on your computer, then sync the contacts to your phone.
Custom labels are available in all contact adding/modification screens.
First, browse to a contact, and tap the label name (to the left of a phone number, e-mail address, etc.). You will see the list of labels.
Second, swipe all the way to the bottom, and tap on "Add Custom Label".
Type in a new Custom Label;
And then it will be displayed next to the number.
It will now appear in a list of custom labels on later access.
