You could use the package contacts_service. Here's a code sample taken from its documentation:

import 'package:contacts_service/contacts_service.dart';  

// Get all contacts on device
Iterable<Contact> contacts = await ContactsService.getContacts();

The Contact object has a property phones which contains all phoneNumbers saved for the contact.

You can grab the phone number like this:

// Get phone numbers for the first contact in list.
Iterable<Item>? phones = contacts.first.phones;

if (phones != null && phones.isNotEmpty) {
  String phoneNumber = phones.first.value
}

With Item class being for contact fields which only have a label and a value, such as emails and phone numbers. And implemented like this:

Item({String? label, String? value})
