Hmm, I think the semicolon stays a semicolon, doesn't it?

In any case, what you're looking for is:

card.tel.type_paramlist = ['HOME', 'VOICE']

card.add('tel')

will create another tel contentline for you.

You can access the full list for a given name, rather than just the
first, using, for instance:

card.tel_list

Have you read the usage examples?

http://vobject.skyhouseconsulting.com/usage.html

I don't make any claims that that page is complete documentation, but it
does mention both of the above details.

Sincerely,
