Answer 1

Add Telephone to customer registration,customer edit page etc. run following setup script from magento root.

<?php
require_once('app/Mage.php'); 
umask(0);
Mage::app();


$installer = new Mage_Customer_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');

$installer->startSetup();

$vCustomerEntityType = $installer->getEntityTypeId('customer');
$vCustAttributeSetId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeSetId($vCustomerEntityType);
$vCustAttributeGroupId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeGroupId($vCustomerEntityType, $vCustAttributeSetId);

$installer->addAttribute('customer', 'cust_telephone', array(
        'label' => 'Customer Telephone',
        'input' => 'text',
        'type'  => 'varchar',
        'forms' => array('customer_account_edit','customer_account_create','adminhtml_customer','checkout_register'),
        'required' => 0,
        'user_defined' => 1,
));

$installer->addAttributeToGroup($vCustomerEntityType, $vCustAttributeSetId, $vCustAttributeGroupId, 'mobile', 0);

$oAttribute = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')->getAttribute('customer', 'cust_telephone');
$oAttribute->setData('used_in_forms', array('customer_account_edit','customer_account_create','adminhtml_customer','checkout_register'));
$oAttribute->save();

$installer->endSetup();
?>

Run this Script, it will add attribute "cust_telephone" and now you can use this attribute in the register form, like this

<li class="fields">
    <div class="field">
        <label><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('Customer Telephone') ?></label>
        <div class="input-box">
            <input type="text" name="cust_telephone" value="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getFormData()->getCust_Telephone()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Customer Telephone') ?>" class="input-text" />
        </div>
    </div>
</li>

the code is tested, will work 100% ;)

Answer 2

Go With the following path :

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

Get the telephone field outside the if condition. If you want to show only telephone field.

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

Answer 3

If you want to show the telephone number field and exclude all other address related fields, then the easy way would be add below code in register.phtml file wherever you need.

File: app/design/frontend/[package]/[theme]/template/customer/form/register.phtml

<div class="field">
    <label for="telephone" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('Telephone') ?></label>
    <div class="input-box">
        <input type="text" name="telephone" id="telephone" value="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getFormData()->getTelephone()) ?>" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('core')->quoteEscape($this->__('Telephone')) ?>" class="input-text <?php echo $this->helper('customer/address')->getAttributeValidationClass('telephone') ?>" />
    </div>
</div>

This would be the easy choice in this case.
