  Ok, radio buttons can be a little bit of a pain to work with, but if you want to use them I would recommend adding an additional radio button for both... the reason being is once you select a radio button you can't un-select it.

  so add this to the html portion...
  Contact me via:
  Contact me via:
  <input type="radio" value="Email" name="contactmethod"> by Email
  <input type="radio" value="Phone" name="contactmethod"> by Phone
  <input type="radio" value="Email or Phone" name="contactmethod" checked="checked" /> by Email or Phone

  In the validation portion, replace...
  $emailcontact = check_input($_POST['emailcontact... ;
  $phonecontact = check_input($_POST['phonecontact... ;
  with...
  $contactmethod = $_POST['contactmethod'];

  and in the prepare the message, replace...
  Contact method:
  $emailcontact
  $phonecontact
  with...
  Contact method:
  By $contactmethod

  That should do it. Having one checked by default allows you to skip validation for it, as really they have to check one anyway or there is no point contacting you.
