It’s actually the same. But when we ask for phone numbers or adresses etc we use the word nummer. Eg: “Hvad er dit nummer?” Which means; “What’s your (phone)number?”

"Nummer" is usually used when you're asking for specific numbers.
1) Du er nummer tre i køen. = You're number three in line.
2) Hvad nummer er det? = What number is that?
"Tal" can be used in more general situations.
3) Det vil jeg altså gerne se nogle tal på. = I'd like to see some numbers on that, actually.
4) Tallene er virkelig høje. = The numbers are really high.
They mean exactly the same thing, as @language-nerd says, and mostly it's just a matter of memorizing when to use which.
