They don't do anything with phone numbers. You can give them lat/lng coordinates and get the address, or an address and get the coordinates.
So "7 Carmine St, New York, NY 10014" will return "(40.7305290, -74.0020706)" and vice versa.
There are youtube tutorials claiming you can do phone lookups using their service. What these youtube tutorials really do is use some other library to determine the country name from the phone number. Then they call the OpenCage geolocation API with the country name as the address input.
