Sounds like an array of custom data types with phone_number, phone_number_label columns, then. PostgreSQL can do that.

I think applications overspecify things like cell_phone_number because they would like to query for all cell phone numbers, and because they're stuck in the obsolete mindset that 1NF can't include arrays.
