If you make a copy of your combo box and use that for your phone number field.
In the criteria of the 2nd combo box where the name Field is put
[Forms]![Form name].[Combo box Name of first combo box] use the second field
for phone number and just display the second field

you will need code In your name combo box in the after update event builder
put
Me.Combo box Name of second combo box.Requery
