In RFC 1274, this was originally called homeTelephoneNumber. The home phone number is not really different from the office phone number, in as much as it is not listed with a (home) address. If this is the case then it will reveal a personal (and unprotected) location where one can reach such individuals. Therefore such telephone numbers should probably be listed only
with the billing address - that of the university.
Feide usage notes
The value is obtained form the institution's employee management system. It should be used only when the institution pays for the telephone subscription or the telephone is used for purposes related to the person's employment.
Example applications for which this attribute would be useful:
Directory of directories, white pages.
