How Do I?

How do I add a custom field (phone number) to the default email contact form in EE and have it included in the notification email that is sent from the form?

The trick is in naming the fields:
You have core fields for email, subject etc such as:
<label for="from">Email *</label>
<input type="email" id="from" name="from" value="" required>
<label for="subject">Subject *</label>
<input type="text" id="subject" name="subject" value="Contact Form">Then for other fields you need to use name="message[]" for each input, examples:
<label for="message">Message *</label>
<textarea id="message" name="message[]" required></textarea>
<label for="cheese">Whats' your favourite cheese?</label>
<input type="hidden" name="message[]" value="---CHEESE---"> <!-- pass hidden input name to email -->
<input type="text" id="cheese" name="message[]" value="">
<label for="phone">Phone</label>
<input type="hidden" name="message[]" value="---PHONE---"> <!-- pass hidden input name to email -->
<input type="tel" id="phone" name="message[]" value="">
