I am receiving messages from contacts but showing numbers only - all the contact names have disappeared and the phone contact section shows 'no contacts'. This happened overnight! All ok yesterday - turned on this morning and could see numbers only. How do I reinstate the names?

I have a Sony - I think it's a tipo? Does that sound right? It's not new!

Thank you - I did all that - still saying 'no contacts', but I am still able to send and receive messages!! I have been told to go to a Vodafone tec store to have it sorted - oh well - that's a train trip then!

This sounds a bit like a memory issue. How's the available space on your device? You may need to delete some content or an app or two, or maybe clear old SMS and call logs. If you can do that, try it again - it sounds as though the contacts are there, but that there aren't the resources to display them. You could also try logging into your Google account on a PC and seeing if your contacts are on the website OK. If they are, go into your Google dashboard and back them up, just for security.

Thanks for your help - I shall now do all that!. For the time being, I have retrieved the important numbers from elsewhere and re-entered them as contacts. So far, they are still there.

Good luck! Remember: your contacts are important, so always keep a backup (I have them on an sd card, my PC, a network drive and two cloud accounts...)
