 You need to use Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnroad/html/road07252001.asp&e=9818
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/mobilesdk5/html/mob5samPOOMMaster.asp&e=9818

Specifically you will want to use IPOutlookItemCollection::Find on the
contacts folder to search for "HomeTelephoneNumber=\"18005551212\"


Note that you will need to normalize your phone number before search and
create a query to match it against all kinds of phne numbers (mobile, home,
business etc). I believe that in order to achieve reasonable performance you
will want to preload all contacts into string arrays and use something like
quicksearch to search yourself.

If you need to read phonebook entries from SIM card, you will also need to
use functions from SIM API (with Sim prefix) such as SimReadPhonebookEntry.
