You can not get the mobile number of the user. Not through an official account nor through the API as this is a security concern. Not even us at Wechat can get that number. It is kept back for security reasons and spam.

Recently it has become available to get a user's mobile number. This however is only available if the user clicks "allow" to your brand and only if you have integrated with their wallet.

You can however contact WeChat for a merchant account and once that is setup the Merchant API will be supplied to you.
