I am very annoyed with the fact that there has to be a default contact for all contacts in the contact app. I have multiple contacts with multiple numbers that I want to pick eveytime I call someone especially on business contact (depending on time of day, how hurry it is), even with my wife because we travel between countries so we have numbers for each countries we're in. 

To be clear, I'm annoyed by the fact that when I search for the contact I want, when it hit the contact name, it'll only give out the default contact detail and if you hit call it'll call that number. If you want other numbers you'll need to hit the (i) icon before the full contact is opened. I've been using iPhone for the last 4 years (Android before then) so this must be new feature.

I've tried 'work around' that other people suggested but it doesn't seem to work 

1) some people said you can remove the default entirely (but need to do it one by one) - there is no such option anymore

2) Some people said you just create a new number for that contact, set it as default, then delete that number. Also doesn't work. 

It's a very annoying feature (annoying enough to get me to type in this community - usually I don't). Wondering if there's any other ways I can do?

NB. I'm using Galaxy A73 5G

It's simple bro, just click and open app info in contacts app, and clear data...
Nothing gets deleted, except your default setting..

Use the Contact app directly instead of phone app, it'll show all the contact numbers...Screenshot_20221004-104901_Contacts_15587_1664860741.jpg
