    NSLog(@"contacts clicked ");

    ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *peoplePickerController = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
    peoplePickerController.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
    [self presentModalViewController:peoplePickerController animated:NO];
    [peoplePickerController release];

}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
      shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
    NSString *number = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);

    NSLog(@" %@",number);
    return YES;
}

here it displays in console like this

ABMultiValueRef 0x740b680 with 1 value(s)
    0: _$!<Mobile>!$_ (0x7419880) - (929) 230-8622 (0x740b490)

    if (property == kABPersonPhoneProperty) {
        ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
        CFStringRef phonenumberselected = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, identifier);
        CFStringRef emailLabelSelected = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(emails, identifier);
        CFStringRef emailLabelSelectedLocalized = ABAddressBookCopyLocalizedLabel(ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(emails, identifier));
        NSLog(@"\n EmailValueSelected = %@ \n EmailLabelSelected = %@ \n \EmailLabeSelectedlLocalized = %@", phonenumberselected, emailLabelSelected, emailLabelSelectedLocalized);
