The problem is that every contact is considered capable of receiving virtually
all types of communication, whether this is actually possible or not.

For example, bug 6375 assumes ALL phone numbers (mobile and landline) are
capable of receiving SMS, similarly ALL phone numbers are shown as capable of
receiving a Skype call when in reality this is the case only if the calling
user has signed up for the chargeable "SkypeOut" service (or the number is
free-of-charge).

Essentially the contacts list needs to make fewer "assumptions" about the
numbers that are entered and instead reflect the reality of the users
circumstances (eg. every single landline number in MY contacts list is
incapable of receiving SMS messages) but I do have SkypeOut so it's correct
that all phone numbers are potentially capable of receiving Skype (but this
won't be the case for all Skype users).

Before more advanced filtering of the Contacts list can be implemented, the
contacts list itself needs to have more intelligence about the numbers it
contains.

Possible dependencies: bug 6850, bug 6375, bug 6728, bug 5732.
