Magento 1.4.2 – Make Registration Fields Not Required

I have tried a very commonly used method to make the telephone field not required during registration, but it doesn’t seem to work with Magento 1.4.2

I’ve made a copy of

magento/app/code/core/Mage/Customer/Model/Address/Abstract.php

magento/app/code/local/Mage/Customer/Model/Address/Abstract.php

and removed the following code from the validate function in that file

if (!Zend_Validate::is($this->getTelephone(), 'NotEmpty')) {
$errors[] = $helper->__('Please enter telephone.');

}

I have also removed the

class="input-text required-entry"

from the register.phtml file, but I can’t get past the validation. I keep getting the error

“Telephone” is a required value.
“Telephone” length must be equal or greater than 1 characters.

Thanks
