You can use regular imap tools,
I think Stephan pointed out how this can work.

It depends on what you can to add.
The webadmin basically is a glorified ldap client.
For a second phone number you would need to add
the attribute to the ldap. Without checking I don't know
if you need to modify the schema for this.
Check with a real ldap client, like gq (0.6).
Modfying the webadmin interface should be straight forward.

This also is ldap standard, probably base64.
The ldap client should do this transparently for you.
