Vocab Question: контактный телефон
Can somebody tell me why if you want to say "telephone contact number" in Russian it would be "контактный телефон?" It seems to me like it would either be "телефоный контакт" or "контакт по телефону." But then I am the non-fluent, non-native speaker...

Телефонный контакт would mean an actual electric connection between conductive parts... ummm... in a telephone.
