    your formula field type is text so you must return a text if your condition matches.

  • Why do you want to populate the field? You can have it as a formula field Customer_Lookup_Field__r.Phone_Number_field__c

As per Documentation,

Use ISBLANK instead of ISNULL in new formulas. ISBLANK has the same functionality as ISNULL, but also supports text fields. Salesforce will continue to support ISNULL, so you do not need to change any existing formulas.

So instead just use

NOT(ISBLANK(Customer_ID__c))

This should work.
