(To clarify I mean the reader's contact information and the reader's attempt to contact someone.)

My email address is readily available online. Anybody who doesn't have my contact details is probably better off using that anyway; it's usually the fastest and most convenient method of contacting me. (If you phone my mobile, it's usually off. If you phone my landline, you usually get the answerphone, which will then email me to tell me that I have to check its messages. Snailmail is at the mercy of the Royal Mail.)

Conversely, if I want to find somebody's snailmail/mobile/etc details, I generally send them an email.

About the only exception is that it's handy to give and receive mobile numbers when you're going to be meeting somebody somewhere; in this case I send an email in advance to do this.

My previous employer did have an address book with coworkers' home/mobile phone numbers; that was occasionally handy.
