LG

Just got this phone and have run into a problem. ALL my contacts disappeared. I hit the contacts icon and it says no contacts. Yet when I go to the contacts icon and touch it..then go to favorites..hit the menu button and then search...the keyboard comes up..I hit the letter A and then search and the contacts I used to have under the letter A appear I hit the letter B and search and all the old contacts under B appear.

These are the same contacts I had before so I know ALL my contacts are somewhere in this phone. Anyone have any idea where? When I search under J for example every contact I have with a J anywhere in it appears. Once these are displayed..how do I replace them in my contacts list?

I am really lost. Someone please ...
