Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My contacts have disappeared and phone won’t sync

I had to create a new apply I’d as I changed phone numbers and e mail address and Apple support couldn’t help me

Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


  1. How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
  2. What is your default Contacts Account?
  3. Which email account you are using to store Contacts?
