How about linetables?

\setuplinetable[nx=2,width=.125\textwidth]

\starttext

\startlinetable
\NC firstname \NC lastname \NC phone       \NC mobile      \NC postal  
code \NC city    \NC address        \NC\NR
\NC John      \NC Jonhsons \NC 0800/987654 \NC 0171/123456 \NC  
12345       \NC New TeX \NC Meta street 12 \NC\NR
\stoplinetable

\stoptext
