Why have I lost a large amount of contacts on my iPhone?

As of the last 3 days, I cannot pull up regularly used phone numbers from my contact list. Oddly, I can access them by going into messages, clicking on the "info" button, then retrieving the number from there. Has this happened to anyone else?

Did you recently delete an email account from your iPhone? If YES, then those lost contacts may have been associated with that email account. If this is the case, then you can add that email account back in and the contacts will sync back.
