hey cjay,

Please try to be more descriptive on your question. Tell us what doesn't work and what you tried doing to help.

Anyways...do you me to tell us that, (using MSN Messenger) when you right-click on a contact and select "Properties", the phone numbers do not show up? Even when you just went to Tools > Options and in the Option window you edit your phone numbers under the "Phone" tab? Is this what you are talking about?

hey cjay,

I don't know if this will help you at all

A: Older versions of the Messenger service used to push your phone numbers, Mobile, and MSN Direct settings to all your buddies every time they were changed. The current version of the service sends all that information, and things like if you have a webcam, and sends those when needed (it's how the webcam icon appears in conversation windows). The only setting that doesn't work that way are the phone numbers. These are only updated to your buddies when both you and they are online simultaneously. This keeps the number of updates to our database of buddy data down.

Try to remove the numbers first and then disable the publishing of phone numbers through MSN Messenger. Then try to re-add them.
