That's exactly how I store the phone number list.
Putting an entry in the list is simply:
echo 'Joe Blow 987-6543' >> ~/PhoneNumbers

Looking up a number is equally simple:
grep -i joe ~/PhoneNumbers

For me it's far simpler and quicker than fiddling about with one of the the Kbloatware solutions.

I used to do that, but eventually found hnb which allowed to add a bit more structure to the thing. hnb is great for keeping semi-structured stuff in a curses interface. Sadly development seems to have stopped.
