Hi Vempally,

The above mentioned requirement can also be accomplished with the help of Process Builder. For achieving this through code, you can use below mentioned trigger on Account object:
  
trigger AccountTrigger on Account(after update, after insert)
{
	List<Contact> lstContact = new List<Contact>();
	Map<Id,Account> mapOldIdToAccount = new Map<Id, Account>();
	if(Trigger.isAfter)
	{
		if(Trigger.isUpdate)
			mapOldIdToAccount = Trigger.oldMap;
		for(Account objAcc : Trigger.new)
		{
			if(Trigger.isInsert || (Trigger.isUpdate && objAcc.Phone!=mapOldIdToAccount.get(objAcc.Id).Phone))
			{
				lstContact.add(new Contact(LastName = 'Test', Phone = objAcc.Phone));
			}
		}
	}
	
	insert lstContact;
}
