I concur...I think the plugin is broken in Android 6x. It was working previously before my phone was upgraded to 6.0 - I was able to collect the Android phone info and store but it no longer seems to work.

 var deviceInfo = cordova.require("cordova/plugin/DeviceInformation");
deviceInfo.get(function(result) {
   var phoneNumber = JSON.parse(result.phoneNo) ;
   console.log("Working: "+phoneNumber) ;
}, function(error) {
   console.log("Not able to retrieve number") ;
}

months ago it would print the phoneNumber when I was on Android 5x...in fact, my app still had the data stored...but then I ran that section of code again and now it just prints the error message.

plugin is not broken, its a permissions issues, you will need to add:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

to the AndroidManifest.xml file
