Google has GrandCentral for contacting user's various phone numbers
Google has GrandCentral something kind of along these lines with making multiple contacts but to the different phone numbers that one person may have (home phone, work phone, cell phone) with also email notification of the call. This is working now and you can assume that it will have other tentacles reaching out to other communications channels to the user.
