Terence,

    That should be the correct call you are using. Be careful,
valueForProperty returns a immutable value, not a mutable one! Are you
sure you have the correct Person? This is the code I been using lately.
Given an ABPerson (a_ab_person) & an NSMutableString (a_output_str),
the following code lists each phone (label: number) for the given
person into the output string:

   int a_int;
   int a_count;
   NSString* a_str;
   ABMultiValue* a_multi;

        [a_output_str setString:@""];
        a_multi = [a_ab_person valueForProperty:kABPhoneProperty];
       if (a_multi) {
       a_int = [a_multi count];
       if (a_int>0) {
       for (a_count=0; a_count<a_int; a_count++) {
           a_str = [a_multi labelAtIndex:a_count];

                   [a_output_str
appendString:ABLocalizedPropertyOrLabel(a_property_str)];
                   [a_output_str appendString:@": "];

           a_str = [a_multi valueAtIndex:a_count];

                   [a_output_str appendString: a_str];
                   [a_output_str appendString:@"\n"];
                }
   }

Hope this helps!
