You cannot delete the phone icon, it is a native app on the phone and cannot be deleted. It may be that you have moved it to another folder or home screen on the phone. When you type Phone in the search screen, does it indicate a folder that it may be located in. This is availabe on iOS 6. If you cannot find it in a folder, go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Home Screen Layout and it should come back.
