Q: 

How to get friend's mobile number using Facebook?

How do I get the mobile number of a friend using the REST Api?

I have HTC Sense on my HTC Legend phone, and somehow they can grab the phone numbers from FB, as I got a list of contacts with mobile and birthday taken from FB. I am wondering how they did it?

+2  A: 

The API won't give out mobile numbers - it's too much of a privacy/spam risk.

Can't we push a phone number to API, and receive back a boolean flag if that matches with the stored one on the profile?

Nope - Facebook doesn't expose mobile information in any way. I'm actually glad of that.
