Steven, this has happened to me a few times. I resolve this by copying the number to the phone's pasteboard and then creating a contact from the e-mail address. Drop the phone number into the contact form, save the contact and you are in business. If you are not familiar with the techniques of copying text in iOS with VoiceOver, it will be a new skill to learn. This approach is not slick, simple and clean, but it gets the job done.
