Answer 1

Go With the following path :

\app\design\frontend\base\default\template\persistent\customer\form\register.phtml

and comment the if condition from here. :

<?php if($this->getShowAddressFields()): ?>

otherwise get the telephone field outside the if condition.

Happy Codding. :)

Just add below layout in any layout xml file:

<customer_account_create>
  <reference name="customer_form_register">
     <action method="setShowAddressFields"><param>true</param></action>
  </reference>
</customer_account_create>

Note: Please don't change in core files. Just make a copy of the layout file in theme directory & add above code.
