You didn't specify how the user selects a preferred contact method. Supposing it's a checkbox:
Preferred contact method: [X] Phone [phone number input] [ ] Email [email input field] Suppose the phone input field gets a red outline when the checkbox is chosen - and stays there until the field is filled or checkbox cleared? I'll bet The appearance of the field would feel a bit more like a guide, not just a warning. And perhaps it would drive users to fill in the field right away, eliminating errors rather than capturing them before submitting. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
