Abstract
A communication number updating method is provided. The method includes obtaining an old communication number and a new communication number used by a same user account of an instant messenger for a user of the old communication number and the new communication number, generating a communication number change message which carries the old communication number and the new communication number, sending the communication number change message to a contact of the user account through the instant messenger, so that the instant messenger logged in by the contact of the user account automatically accesses a local address book and add the new communication number in a communication entry of the old communication number in the local address book.
