Why does my new iPhone 5 keep deleting all my contacts?

I've had my phone for 4 days without a problem. Tonight when I went to text I noticed all the contact names were gone and I just had numbers. When I checked my contacts they all disappeared right in front of me. I have restored my phone 4 times now and each time when I check my contacts they are there then all disappear in front of me.

iPhone 5, iOS 6

I am having this problem too. It just started. Some of my contacts including my own name are disappearing. I never saw this issue with my iPhone 3Gs, iPhone4S or for the last month with my iPhone5.


All of my favorites have changed to numbers.


I sync with yahoo. I delted the yahoo account. Reinstalled the yahoo account. I saw my contacts there for a minute and then they dissappeared again.


Does anyone know what's going on?
