How do you retrieve an ID from a phone number?

Question

I am trying to retrieve Phone Number hence using

String addrWhere = Contacts.Phones.NUMBER + " = " + userNumber;
  String id = "";
  Cursor c = mContext.getContentResolver().query(
    Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI,
    new String[] { Contacts.Phones._ID }, addrWhere, null, null);
  try {
   if (c.getCount() > 0) {
    c.moveToFirst();
    id = c.getString(0);
    Log.i("IDS", id);
   }
  } finally {
   c.close();
  }
  return id;

Can anyone let me know my mistake in this?
