I've agonized over this one for years. I wound up having to create two separate contacts
for everyone with phones and list them explicitly in the contact lists. This has been a
major pita. As far as I know, there's no way around it.

The other one is having to create one-to-one service/contact group mappings because for
every different service somebody wants to be notified by phone but not email, both, or
vice versa. It would be nice to be able to specify the contact list in the host/service
definition directly.
