I can't set phone number type/label in native Android Contact via ContentProvider

I can add to contact phone number but I can't set number type like mobile or home. And type always set custom.
Here code that I am using:
void AddPhoneToContact(List ops, int rawContactInsertIndex, string phone, string title)
{
ops.Add(GetCreateContactBuilder(rawContactInsertIndex)
.WithValue(ContactsContract.Data.InterfaceConsts.Mimetype, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.ContentItemType)
.WithValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.Number, phone) // Number of the person
.WithValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.InterfaceConsts.Type, "Home")
.WithValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.InterfaceConsts.Label, "Home")
.Build());
}
What am I doing wrong?

    You can try the following code:

     void AddPhoneToContact(List ops, int rawContactInsertIndex, string phone, string title)
{
   ops.Add(GetCreateContactBuilder(rawContactInsertIndex)
   .WithValue(ContactsContract.Data.InterfaceConsts.Mimetype, 
  ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.ContentItemType)
 .WithValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.Number, phone) // Number of the person
 .WithValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.InterfaceConsts.Type,
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.InterfaceConsts.TypeCustom)
 .WithValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.InterfaceConsts.Label, "Home")
.Build());
 }

    Note: Just to change

     .WithValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.InterfaceConsts.Type, "Home")

    to

       .WithValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.InterfaceConsts.Type,
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.InterfaceConsts.TypeCustom)
