Does Xamarin offer a native number picker that I can use with Xamarin.Forms?

I have used the standard picker which comes up with a box on the screen and allows me to select from a list.

But is there a native Xamarin picker that can be used just to pick numbers and populate a binder number? Something like I see on applications where a telephone keypad type thing displays with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 and a backspace. This seems like a common kind of control for when a user wants to enter a number or dollar amount.

I look in the sample apps but could not find any example of this. If there is not one then is the only way to implement a series of numbers in a list ?
