One scenario would be a user who has only a telephone number. That could be used to make a call to the other user, but it might be preferred to look at presence or send an IM first.

I agree this is perhaps not a very common situation. When only a telephone number is available, it tends to be for somebody outside one's organization, and probably presence / IM would not be available anyway.

Perhaps this is just a desirable, not a firm requirement. I will go with the majority.
