You are
never forced to update Plus! and downgrading Plus! would work perfectly fine. As I said, I tested it on my PC and the name appears exactly as I said it should do. The only thing that I can think of is that your friend is connecting to WLM in a different method to before. If they are not, it may be an issue with their client not sending a display name (or sending a blank one). Plus has
never been able to access nicknames and I don't think it has ever been able to access phone numbers from contacts accounts. This would prevent Plus! from ever showing it in any window.

To use the MSN network (on WLM, a 3rd-party client or mobile device) you must have a .NET passport, Live account or an accepted 3rd-party account (such as Yahoo!). All of these require you to provide account information. If you mean you only entered their phone number to add them as a contact, I presume WLM would have access to other information such as email, name, age etc.
I cannot be too much help on Mobile contacts as I have rarely used the feature. I would suggest waiting for somebody else to reply. However, my reasoning in my posts is sound and I have a great deal of understanding of basics relating to the internal workings of WLM.
