First Get the Conditional Behaviour from here: Conditional Validation Behavior

Add Behavior to your model:

class Something extends AppModel
{
    public $actsAs = array('ConditionalValidation');
}

Defining your validation rule by Model:

class Something extends AppModel
{
    public $actsAs = array('ConditionalValidation');

    public $validate = array(
        'telephone' => array('isActive' => array(
            'rule' => 'notEmpty',
            'if' => array('mobile',''),//activate when you don't have mobile
            ),
'mobile' => array('isActive' => array(
            'rule' => 'notEmpty',
            'if' => array('telephone',''),//activate when you don't have mobile
            ),



        );
    );
}

Have to find out whats the rule for both fields exist
