_sms_aliases should check both fields and add the first if any matches.
To prevent completion using own matching use -U flag to compadd.
Something like

ret=1
smsaddr -l  | while read alias number; do
  if [[ $alias == $PREFIX*$SUFFIX || $number == $PREFIX*$SUFFIX ]]; then
     compadd -U -- $alias
     ret=0
   fi
done

return $ret

with obvious error checking. If you want to add numbers as descriptions,
somebody else better explains how to do it :-)
