I have a fairly new phone number that I have a hard time to remember when
somebody asks for it. It would be nice if it would show up somewhere on the
opening screen, so I don’t have to search for it in the Contacts list. Do
you have a solution for this old-age problem?

 
Forget all the earlier mentioned stoneage soliutions.

You place this widget on your first home screen. That is the only
adequate digital solution.
 
I tried it it works with notes.

 
Now it is more like what I was thinking about.
I’ll check it out. Thanks.

 
👍🏻
 

 
I’ve done it already. Looks good, too.
Thanks again.

 
Can you share what you did?
 
 

 
I cut and covered identifying info:

I was more meaning the process rather than the outcome. What widget is
displaying the phone number?
 
I had a play on the way home and managed to get a shortcut working with
backtap to display a contact's phone numbers temporarily.

 
Jörg already described the process.

 
Not really. He simply shared a generic Apple link and he mentioned notes.
Your screenshot is not a note.
 
Hence my question to you. I'm asking because I'd like to something similar
for a relative.
 

Sorry, I figured that if an iPhone newbie, like me, could follow Jörg’s
instructions, anybody could.

Wouldn't it be easier to answer the question, rather than pass judgement?
Never mind <sigh>
