In the backend, go to Customers --> Addresses at the bottom of the list there is a button that reads "Set required fields for this section". Make sure the phone number check boxes are unchecked.

 

Now if you want to remove the actual text box's on the front end, that's completely different and will take some theme file modifications. Not sure which one's so I'll let someone else chime in on that one if that's what you need.

A phone number is required when a customer adds an address either while configuring their account settings or when checking out.

 

To make it optional you have to modify a file called AddressController.php. Assuming that your PrestaShop is installed directly in the public_html folder on your account, the path to it will be public_html/controllers/front/AddressController.php. In that file comment out the following code:

 

if (Configuration::get('PS_ONE_PHONE_AT_LEAST') && !Tools::getValue('phone') && !Tools::getValue('phone_mobile'))
  $this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('You must register at least one phone number');

 

To comment it out put a forward slash and an asterisk at the beginning (e.g. /*if...) and an asterisk and a forward slash at the end (e.g. ..number');*/).

 

The phone fields will still be visible on the address form but they will be optional. The address will be saved if the customer doesn't type a phone numbers, but if they want to, they can specify a number.

 

To remove the phone fields from the address form you need to modify the address.tpl file of the theme that you use. For example, if you use the default theme, the path to the file will be public_html/themes/default/address.tpl. Comment out the code:

 

{if $onr_phone_at_least}
  <p class="inline-infos required">{l s='You must register at least one phone number'} <sup class="required">*</sup></p>
 {/if}
 <p class="text">
  <label for="phone">{l s='Home phone'}</label>
  <input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" value="{if isset($smarty.post.phone)}{$smarty.post.phone}{else}{if isset($address->phone)}{$address->phone}{/if}{/if}" />
 </p>
 <p class="text">
  <label for="phone_mobile">{l s='Mobile phone'}</label>
  <input type="text" id="phone_mobile" name="phone_mobile" value="{if isset($smarty.post.phone_mobile)}{$smarty.post.phone_mobile}{else}{if isset($address->phone_mobile)}{$address->phone_mobile}{/if}{/if}" />
 </p>

 

If you want to leave the fields as optional, you can just comment out the first part that displays the text that the fields are required. You can also comment out just the part about the home or mobile phone, if you want to leave just one of the two fields on the address form.

 

Hope this helps.

This part is completely unnecessary as these fields can be made optional on the back-end as explained in my earlier post.
