My iPhone erased all my contacts!

Question

My iPhone erased all my contacts!

I did not do anything differently on my phone today, I did not download anything, I did not update anything, I just use my phone as normal.

I received a text from a friend but I got their actual numbers texted to me instead of their name showing up as it is in my contacts. So I went to look at my contacts and they were all gone.

Also, when I opened up a game app all the achievements that I had gotten were erased? Will a get any of this information back? Help ?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

If still gone and If you backed up the phone before the contacts disappeared, restore the backup

You also should be syncing your contacts with iCloud or other cloud service

If you aren't backing up or syncing, SOL
