    Something like this?

    CREATE TABLE #ContactDetails (ContactID INT, ContactMethod VARCHAR(5), ContactDetail VARCHAR(30))

    INSERT INTO #ContactDetails (ContactID, ContactMethod, ContactDetail)

    SELECT 1, 'Phone', '+1 413 2220144' UNION ALL

    SELECT 1, 'Fax', '+1 413 2221144' UNION ALL

    SELECT 1, 'Email', 'abcd@xyz.com' UNION ALL

    SELECT 2, 'Phone', '+1 413 2220145' UNION ALL

    SELECT 2, 'Fax', '+1 413 2221145' UNION ALL

    SELECT 2, 'Email', 'efgh@xyz.com'

    SELECT ContactID,

    MAX(CASE ContactMethod WHEN 'Phone' THEN ContactDetail END) AS 'PHONE',

    MAX(CASE ContactMethod WHEN 'Fax' THEN ContactDetail END) AS 'FAX',

    MAX(CASE ContactMethod WHEN 'Email' THEN ContactDetail END) AS 'EMAIL'

    FROM #ContactDetails

    GROUP BY ContactID
