Outlook.com contacts not syncing to iPhone (but calendar and e-mail are)

Hoping someone can help.

THE ISSUE: My new iPhone 7 isn't pulling in my contacts into the Phone >Contacts app (the stock iPhone contacts app) from Outlook.com. It's strange because both my e-mail and calendar from Outlook.com are syncing properly.

WHAT I'VE TRIED:

* I've removed the Outlook.com account and readded.  Still nothing.

* I've unchecked the "contacts" toggle and retoggled it back on. It says it's syncing, but the contacts are not there.

* Downloaded the Outlook app from the App Store. Confirmed the Contacts show up.

* Gone to Outlook.com and OPtions>General and confirmed the iPhone is in the Devices area.  Status is "OK"

Any thing else to try?

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Contacts

    This was exactly what I was looking for.  Followed the button that stated I prefer not to use the Outlook app (even though I do use it) and all synced within a couple minutes

    Thanks.

    This is the first time I've "used" an iphone as my daily goto device.

    Have always wondered why people never did just use exchange for a hotmail account.

    Thanks for your suggestion.  All my hotmail and gmail contacts are populating the iphone 5s.
