    Hi, The contacts in my Blackberry Passport have become all mixed up. Some contacts have been assigned the number of another contact, resulting in them having two numbers.
    It's a big problem when you get a phone call and you are expecting to talk to someone else. Also, The text message you receive, is displayed as being from another contact.
    Luckily, I had backed up my contacts and was able to restore them, after I deleted all from my phone.
    But it's going to happen again as this is the fourth time it has happened.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Contact merging might be going on in the background. Try turning it off:

    Code:
    In the Contacts app, swipe down from the top of the screen.
    Tap The Settings icon.
    Turn off the Automatically Merge Contacts switch.
    Tip: If you also want to unmerge your existing contacts, turn on the Unmerge Existing Contacts switch.

    Thanks for the reply but can't see it being that.
    Whatever's happening puts a completely different contact's number into another contact's details
    ending up with that contact having his ( her ) own number plus the other contact's number.
    There is no similarity in the names ( or numbers ) of the contacts, involved.

    I see your point.
    Still wonder if you did turn it off would it help. Stranger things....
