Laurentiu replied and was refererring to the user contact information field
called "DID". Putting a number here does not put any calls to this number
through to the user.

The user alias field will indeed accept multiple space-separated aliases,
but an LDAP import will overwrite any changes / additions.
Thus, you're stuck with whatever single value you map from LDAP to your
alias field.
