What are Suggested Contacts?

I have an iPhone 5 that I pull contact data from Microsoft Exchange at work. Within my iPhone 5 I have Contacts that only show up if I click on "Suggested Contacts". What is Suggested Contacts?

Where are you seeing "Suggested Contacts"? If you swipe to the left most screen, where you can access Siri, you'll see "Suggested Contacts". They are people who you've contacted previously at similar times and locations which the software thinks you might want to contact now.

Thanks for your help. When I am in Contacts, I press the Group link and it me to a screen that starts with a line that states (in blue) Show All Contacts. Below I can click to put a check mark beside my email address (that is hosted by MS Exchange), that will show all 1,678 contacts.

Right below I can put a check beside Contacts (that will show 1,104 contacts from MS Exchange hosted Outlook).

And below that I can put a check beside Suggested Contacts (that will show 601 contacts), some duplicates of the 1,104 above, most are not. So where are the other Suggested Contacts kept? Are they simply kept in my iPhone's memory? If I add a new contact from my iPhone, it shows up in my MS Exchange hosted Outlook within seconds.

I don't have anything like that but my phone is not synced to an Exchange account. However, it sounds like a contact group set up in your Exchange account. Who set it up or why, I don't know.
