This is how you could do it:
I wrote it in Outlook VBA (Outlook Alt+F11)


Function retrievePhoneNumber() As String
Dim objItem As ContactItem

Set objItem = ActiveExplorer.Selection.item(1)
Debug.Print objItem.HomeTelephoneNumber
Debug.Print objItem.BusinessTelephoneNumber

retrievePhoneNumber = objItem.HomeTelephoneNumber

Set objItem = Nothing
End Function
