Exchange contacts not syncing with iPhone 5

All my contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 5. I have tried to delete end reinstall my exchange account but that did not help. Also I have tried resetting network settings and turning syncing contacts with iCloud off.

My mail and calendar are syncing just fine.

Solutions please?


This did the trick for me:

  1. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Exchange
  2. Turn Contacts on
  3. Go into the App called Contacts and select Groups
  4. Select All Exchange, Contacts and Suggested Contacts

After doing that, all the and the names of my contacts came back for recent calls and messages.
