Hi James, I'm sorry I got you so upset. I think the fualt lies with me, I should have assumed that the contacts would disappear since they are not synced to my IIphone, but didn't. This is the 3GS I was pseaking of not the four. I didn't make that clear in my post. Luckily, I can get most of the contacts back, two of my colleagues I will see tomorrow, and the other woman I have her number stored on my Voicemail. I will look at the tool you mentioned. Have a wonderful day.
Musically, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!
