Describe the bug
We are receiving incoming webhook with lid.
However when we try to resolve that lid to phone number, it return null phone number.
When we fetch all contacts, we found two contacts with same name but different lid.
One of the contact is without phone number.
One of the contact is with phone number.
Message returns the lid for the contact without the phone number.
Message sending happens via phone number, that takes the lid with phone numer.
Because of duplicate in contact list it creates inconsistency of LID.
Note that phone doesn't have any duplicate.
