Try this:

1.  Join from table 1 to table 2 on ID.
2.  Group on table1.ID
3.  Create a formula to concatenate the phone numbers.  It will look something like this: 
StringVar Phones;
if OnFirstRecord or {table1.ID} <> previous({table1.ID}) then Phones := '';
If Phones = '' then
  Phones := {table2.phonenumber}
else
  Phones := ', ' + {table2.phonenumber};
Phones
4.  Place your fields in the Group Footer for the ID group, using this formula for the phone number column.
