Add an international phone number: Enter the phone number, preceded by the plus sign (+) and the contact’s country code.

Add a phone number extension: Enter the phone number, a semicolon (;), then the extension number.
Change the ringtone or text tone: Click the tone pop-up menu, then choose the sound you want to hear when the contact calls you on your Mac or sends you a text message.
Add a field: Click the Add button

Note: If you use an Exchange account, those contact cards can include only three email addresses, and there are limits on the number of phone numbers, names, messaging addresses and street addresses.
If you edit a contact in a read-only account such as Exchange or Google, the changes you make appear only in Contacts.
When you sign in with the same Apple ID on each of your devices, and turn on Contacts in iCloud preferences or settings, your contacts are available on all your devices and changes you make to contacts on one device appear on the others.
