Names deleted
After I deleted an email account, all the names in my text messages are gone and the numbers remain. How can I get them back?

Sounds like you were syncing your contacts with that email account. Re-add the account to sync the contacts back to your phone.
No. Sorry. Content synced to Exchange is not part of any backup you can make from your phone. That’s a security thing…
Anything you had stored in a work email account is the property of the company that owns the Exchange server.
Yet another reason to NEVER store any personal data on company servers.
Contacts synced to an Exchange account are NOT part of the backup.
They are “owned” by the Exchange server they are being synced to.
Thanks KiltedTim, I did try that, but unfortunately it was an old work email and I cannot log back in. No longer work there. :-|
i’ve read I might be able to restore it from iTunes but I don’t think I’ve backed anything up to iTunes for a long time unless it happens automatically.
Can it work from iCloud backup?
OK, thanks!
I did back up my phone regularly, including my contacts with an iCloud 50 GB account.
Is there someway to get the numbers from the iCloud, because what’s the point to back things up if they are not saved somewhere in the cloud?
:-( Thank you!
