2. Creating a phone number page
To allow users to authenticate using their Phone number, you need to create a page to accept the user's phone number. FlutterFlow provides a collection of ready-to-use templates. You can use one of our templates or create a page from scratch.

Click on the Select Page or Component from the Navigation Menu (left side of your screen).
Click on + Create New, Give it a name.
Click on the + Create New button under the Blank Page template.
Click on the Widget Tree from the Navigation Menu.
Add the Column widget from the Layout Elements tab (in the Widget Panel) or add it directly from the widget tree.
Add the TextField widget inside the Column and change its Hint Text to the Phone number.
Add the Button widget below the TextField and change its Text (Under Button Text section) to Send Code.

Testing Phone authentication on a real device:
Phone Sign-In can not be tested in Run Mode. Instead, you will need to test Phone Authentication on a real device. There are a few steps necessary to get a Phone Sign In working on a real device.
Android device setup
Phone Sign In does not work in an Android emulator. You can only test it on a real device. You need to ensure that the "Android Device Verification" API is enabled for your project. 
To enable the API:
Open this URL.
Make sure your project is selected in the project dropdown at the top.
Click on Enable.
Android device setup
Preparing to test the app
​Here are the instructions for setting up your machine to test the downloaded code on a real device.
Release Mode
If you're releasing your app to the Play Store, you need to add the SHA certificate fingerprints from the Play Console.
Play Store Console > Your project > Release Management –> App Signing
Release mode
iOS device setup
You don't need to take any additional steps to enable Phone Sign-In on iOS devices.
Testing with dummy numbers
If you haven't enabled billing in your firebase project, you must have some limit on testing the phone authentication with real numbers. In order to test phone sign-in without any limits, you can add some fictitious numbers to the Firebase console.
To add the fictitious number:
Open the Firebase console and click on Authentication.
Select the Sign-in method tab.
Click on the Phone. (Under Sign-in providers section)
Scroll down and find the Phone number for testing menu and click on it.
Enter any dummy phone number. (Make sure it should look unreal)
Enter the verification code that you would use on the verify code page.
Click on add.
