Perhaps even more critically...

Take that contact book and distribute it in a hierarchical fashion: if it's not in your contact-book, your contact-manager app contacts an upstream contact-book to see if it either knows the number or knows "somebody" how knows - or can find out - the person's phone number for you.

...Though that starts bleeding dangerously into "explain LDAP like I'm 5" territory.
