"Does he have your phone number?", is common and is grammatically correct.

Does functions as an auxiliary verb.

You can also say , "Has he got your phone number?" This is also commonly heard and is grammatically correct.

Has functions as an auxiliary verb and got indicates possession.

Does he has is incorrect.
