When people on my contact list click on properties against my name, they see
an old mobile phone number. This is strange since I changed my phone number
under Tools|Options|Phone months ago. I've even tried deleting the number
but the "ghost" number is still available to my contacts.

Greetings,

This is a known issue, unfortunately the database which holds this information is not updated
very often.
