Hi mana-boy,

Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other :)

Wondering if you use iCloud, and if your Contacts in iCloud have both names and numbers.


If so, you might want to:

Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more using iCloud.com

Wondering too, if your iPhone may be short on storage space.

If so, you might need to save some photos, videos, music etc, ro an external storage device (Hard drive, Zip drive)
