Have you logged onto the MobileMe website to see if they are there?

Perhaps put MobileMe back onto your iPhone, make sure they appear again, then do a full-sync with something like Outlook on your PC (or Mail/Calendar/Address Book if you use OS X) to ensure you have them backed up.

Then you can remove MobileMe and re-sync.

Thanks for the advice but I will have to pay £60 to reactivate my me account first to get my contacts.

They should be in your address book if you have a mac. You have to alter the settings in iTunes for the iPhone to sync with the address book.
