What normal form is violated here?
A telephone call is uniquely identified by telephone number and time of call. These candidate keys compose the composite primary key. There is an attribute/column “telephone location”.

telephone number|time of call | telephone location(precise)

Does it help if the telephone is mobile?

Just thinking about this may cause you sleepless nights but there is something to be learned.
