I was having issues with my wife's iphone 4 (covered in different thread). One possible solution was to restore the phone back to the factory settings. I did that but only took the SIM card out half way through the process. I lost all my contacts. Is there a way to get it back? I have never connected the phone to itunes. Is the information stored somewhere in the phone? I did try contacts from SIM but that didn't do anything. Any help would be really helpful.

Re: Retrieve deleted contacts
Did she have a phone prior to the new (used) iPhone 4? Is there any chance of retrieving numbers from there? It's a bummer to start all over again, but it sounds like you might have to.

Re: Retrieve deleted contacts
I am looking for her old sim card which would be the only way to get her contacts back. Fingers crossed, I find it.

Re: Retrieve deleted contacts
Try to do via iCloud:
settings>iCloud>check to see if your signed in or have contacts on, if you do then turn off contacts, keep on phone, turn back on, merge and your contacts should show up again.

Re: Retrieve deleted contacts
I think in this way you could not retrieve you contacts at all.
