you can also go to icloud.com on a computer to see if your contacts are there as well, make sure you do it on a computer

If you have failed to sync them, as the iphone is designed, then they are likely gone.
tried that, but unfortunatly it didnt work. do you guys know of any other ways? and if possible, do you know how this happened? is their a switch or something, or was it done maybe through the creation of an icloud?
Since you have given no explanation at all about your situation, it is very difficult ot guess why.
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. All of your contacts should be on your computer. Your iphone just allows you to take them with you.
If you fail to sync them regularly, then you run a risk of losing them.
I too recently switched to icloud and than realized all my contacts were gone! I'm in the process of trying to recover thru itunes. I'm hoping it works 😮
Try to do via iCloud:

Ok - here is a crazy fix.
After accidentally deleting contacts on the iphone 4 and then pluging it into itunes while failing to stop an automatic backup - (thereby overwriting itunes contacts with the now blank contacts from the iphone (all gone...) my wife came up with the following fix...
1. Open message app - Pick a message thread which has a name.
2. Scroll up and open contact info. There was the contact.
3. Then select - 'share contact' - choose 'by message' - and send it to yourself.
4. Then you will recieve this message as 'attachment: 1 contact'.
5. Open it and then select 'add to existing contact'. When this opens you can see all of your contacts.
She did this three or four times and played around some more with different messages and suddenly by the fourth time you could see all the contacts through the contact app. This last bit is a little vague but at least by step 5 you can see that all your contacts are still in your phone somewhere. Play around after that and with a little luck someone can add the details of the last step.
Good luck - hope you can also save $99 buying software to do this for you.

I was just looking to fix the same problem. All of a sudden my contacts were gone/empty.
Been lazy and never set up iCloud. So all these other suggestions weren't going to work.
What I ended up doing
Double tap home button
Hold down on an icon that appears on bottom of screen and close all running apps
Tap home button again
Power off your phone
Turn phone back on
Open contacts and they should be restored.
Hope this works for you and any one else with the same
Problem. I'm off to go back up my phone to a computer and the cloud.
I've learned my lesson.
Good luck.

Did you get an iCloud ID? If so,
Go Settings > iCloud > check to see if your signed in or have contacts on, if you do then turn off contats, keep on phone, turn back on, merge and your contacts should show up again
