I want them to be centered. Though, the phone number has some sort of problem with alignment, and I don;t know fi the other ones are causing it or are also aligned wrong.

You have to add "option=fixed" to the cell with the width setting.

%%%% begin example
\starttext

\startxtable[option=stretch]
   \startxrow
     \startxcell
       text text
     \stopxcell
     \startxcell[width=8cm]
       \samplefile{ward}
     \stopxcell
   \stopxrow
\stopxtable

\startxtable[option=stretch]
   \startxrow
     \startxcell
       text text
     \stopxcell
     \startxcell[option=fixed,width=8cm]
       \samplefile{ward}
     \stopxcell
   \stopxrow
\stopxtable

\stoptext
%%%% end example
