Check the sample for getting the image from phone number

NSString phoneNumber = @"yourPhoneNumber";
UIImage *myContactImage;
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();

    // Get all contacts in the addressbook
    NSArray *allPeople = (__bridge NSArray*)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);

    for (id person in allPeople) {
        // Get all phone numbers of a contact
        ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue((__bridge ABRecordRef)(person), kABPersonPhoneProperty);

        // If the contact has multiple phone numbers, iterate on each of them
        for (int i = 0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers); i++) {
            NSString *phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, i);

            // Remove all formatting symbols that might be in both phone number being compared
            NSCharacterSet *toExclude = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"/.()- "];
            phone = [[phone componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:toExclude] componentsJoinedByString: @""];
            phoneNumber = [[phoneNumber componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:toExclude] componentsJoinedByString: @""];

            if ([phone isEqualToString:phoneNumber]) {
                NSData *contactImageData = (NSData*)ABPersonCopyImageData(person);
                myContactImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:contactImageData];
                break;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
