Keeping exchange contacts on the iPhone
14/10/14 Filed in: exchange
Scotty, the "restore" we did on my iPhone today included my Outlook contacts and calendar, and left in tact the setup of my former business Exchange email. If I delete the Exchange account, will it inadvertently delete my contacts?
As it stands, the phone is repeatedly attempting to connect with Exchange and prompting me for my password.

You could try going into the iPhone’s settings/Mail,Contacts, Calendar then select the Exchange account. There you should see three toggle switches where you could turn off email and calendar but leave contacts in tact. I don’t think the phone will prompt you for the exchange password. If I’m wrong then we should still be able to get the contacts and eventually delete the exchange account. Your ultimate goal should be to get the exchange contacts out of the exchange account and into your own personal reservoir of contacts such as iCloud.
