I'm not completely sure I understand your problem. I think you want to use LEFT JOIN to see if the record exists in the phonebook table.

And perhaps use IFNULL to show the name or the sendernumb:

SELECT i.sendernumb,
    IFNULL(p.name,i.sendernumb) name,
    i.text text
FROM tbl_inbox i
    LEFT JOIN tbl_phonebook p ON i.SenderNumb = p.number
