One of the ways
select id,name,homephone as device
from table
union all
select id,name,workphone as device
from table
union all
select id,name,email as device
from table|||Hi
here you go
select id,name,homephone as device
from table
union all
select id,name,workphone as device
from table
union all
select id,name,email as device
from table

What version of SQL Server are you on?
If SQL 2005, in addition to the methods suggested, look up the PIVOT
command.

SELECT ID, Name, Device
FROM Foobar
UNPIVOT
(Device FOR DeviceType IN
(HomePhone, WorkPhone, Email)) AS U;

to UNPIVOT.
Yeah... that's it. That's what I meant :-)
