      {
        item.number1 = number.number1;
        item.number2 = number.number2;
        item.number3 = number.number3;

You've define Phonenumbers to be a List but at no point are you creating the list so para.Phonenumbers is always going to be null. You can create a new List in the constructor.

public class Parameter
{
  public int Id {get;set;}
  public string name {get;set;}
  public List<Phonenumber> Phonenumbers{get;set}
  
  public Parameter()
  {
     this.Phonenumbers = new List<Phonenumber>();
  }
}

Your code doesn't make sense because your Phonenumbers property of type List<Phonenumber> will always have an empty value, thus it will never go inside your foreach-loop even if you initialize your List.

You don't need a loop to assign values to your List because it's already expecting a type of Phonenumber. What you need to do is simply just like this:

C#

var phoneNumbers = new List<Phonenumber>();
phoneNumbers.Add(numbers);

You can then assign the phoneNumbers value to your Parameter object like this:

C#

Parameter para = new Parameter();
para.Id = 1;
para.name = "Vynn Markus";
para.Phonenumbers = phoneNumbers;

To put them altogether, your whole ActionResult method would now look something like this:

C#

public ActionResult SmeDirPage(Phonenumber numbers)
{
    var phoneNumbers = new List<Phonenumber>();
	phoneNumbers.Add(numbers);
		
	Parameter para = new Parameter();
	para.Id = 1;
	para.name = "Vynn Markus";
	para.Phonenumbers = phoneNumbers;
}
