Many of iPhone user asking on how to delete contact all simultaneously.
Either by trick, by apps, by cydia or through iTunes.
Below are the methods that commonly used by iphone user to delete all their contact:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Hence, I would share another method to delete all contact in iPhone that:-
- require NO internet connection [no need to use wifi or cellular data.]
- using NO iTunes [which means no need to connect to pc.]
- using NO any additional apps [which means no paid apps.]
- NO Cydia! [Which means it is applicable to non-jailbreak iphone.]
- can be done within 5 minutes! [which means u free lots of your time]

Step 1 - this step is not compulsory. its just to prove that this method is not using any internet connection.

Turned off your cellular data connection and also wireless connection by switching your device to airplane mode. This step is not compulsory but just to make sure that u won’t be using any data to avoid extra billing. Here is my original contact in my iPhone. It’s all still there in the phonebook entry.
Check it out in the image below:

Step 3

In the following field, just fill in your fake account.
It does not matter if its exist or not, just fill in the field with anything.
In this case, try following:

Email : aaa.gmail.com
Username : aaa
Password: aaabbb

Continue with NEXT when u are done.

Again, to remind you, all these info is not important.
Just put it as what you like.

Step 4

After you select NEXT, another field will appear on the screen, which is Server field.
In this case, since your fake account is gmail, u need to put google as your server.
Type m.google.com and continue to Save your account.

IMPORTANT!
Iphone will prompt you that there is problem in verifying your account.
Just continue and choose Accept.

this tutorial is to delete all contact, not delete all data.
and by restoring your phone back to factory setting, it may frozen your phone.
there's lot of iphone user complain in the technical support saying that their iphone freeze after 4 hours-5hours reset their settings.
this is what we call "wasting time".
other than that, most of the time people want their apps remain there in the iphone.
so that they can add extra market value to 2nd hand market price.
