All of my contacts have disappeared. I have tried restoring them through icloud by turning off and then turning on contacts. icloud has not given me the option to delete or merge contacts, and they have not been restored.

Could they be Gmail contacts? Or whatever email? Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendar and check if contacts are toggled on.
