You can not detmine from mial body which is your phone number, You need to provide some identifier in the body which will tell that next string is phone number.

 

Like if your email body has

 

Phone Number 5555566666 the you can determine that the string that follows Text "Phone Number" is the phone number.

Just have a look at this recipe

 

http://developer.force.com/cookbook/recipe/serialize-batch-apex

 

In this email.plainTextBody== 'start second batch' this statement is reading the mail body, you can directly split your mail body with your identifier which would be "Phone Number" in your case 

 

Your code will be like this

 String mailBody = String.valueof(email.plainTextBody);

List<String> splitedMaialBody = mailBody .split('Phone Number');

String strWithPhoneNUmber = splitedMaialBody.get(1);

//Again spliet with blank space as definitly there would be a blank space after your phone number

String phoneNumber = strWithPhoneNUmber.split(' ')[0]; 

 

 

You can bulid you logic as above as pe your req, pleaselet me know if any issues.
