Enhancement for Skype for Business
In a Skype for business environment, the phone places the last dialed method for a contact either through SIP URI or Tel URI and dials via the same method the next time until it reboots to default SIP URI.

On the VVX press and hold the contact for a while and see all the Numbers. Select the Number you want to dial from now on and it will remember the choice until the Phone reboots.
