I doubt you deleted it... because you can't actually uninstall it :) You probably "unpinned" the phone tile from your startscreen.

Solution: go to "all apps list" (swipe to the right.. you're looking for the long list sorted alphabetically) > tap on one of the capitalized letters > that should present you with an alphabetical grid > tap on the letter "P" (you know... cuz "phone" starts with a "P") > once there, look for "phone" > long tap on the name and select "pin to start" > this should place a tile at the bottom of your startscreen..

To move it up, simply tap and hold on the tile for a few seconds until it looks a little dense, then move it to the top of your startscreen
