What I noticed is that in most contact lines, the format would be:

TEL;TYPE=CELL,VOICE:5551234567

the sed line pretty much changes the line to:

TEL;CELL;VOICE:5551234567

Now, I'm no expert on the VCard format, but this a big difference
between the formats that did work and what I had that didn't.  So, I
applied this line to a VCard that had about 100 contacts and
everything went in afterwards (after taking out multiple line notes)
