    You could select iPhone messages recovery software-MobiKin Doctor for iOS. This is a freeware that not only enables you to view iPhone messages on computer, but also empowers you to find specific SMS/iMessages accurately.

    Besides the two methods discussed above, there are another one method that you can use to recover lost or deleted contacts, sms from iPhone 4S. That is, to recover them from iCloud backup file as long as the backup contains the lost data you want.
    As for lost contacts, you got one more way to get them back once you lost them. Apple has added a new feature on iOS 8 and later, which will regularly archive your current contacts so that you can restore them back when needed. So if your iPhone 4S is on a higher iOS version, you can try this method as well.

    There is one "free with limitations" program I know of which claims to be able to recover iPhone data. The limitation is 1GB of data, which I'm guessing would be more than enough ...

    It does seem though to be aimed at the backups made by iTunes when synching an Iphone with said program. If you don't use iTunes with your iPhone, then it's probably gonna be a professional recovery which will set you back a few quid.


    I don't usually post links to commercial software, but in this case, you don't have many avenues to explore, so it may help.

    Here are two easy methods to recover contacts from old iPhone :

    One. Recover contacts from iPhone via iTunes.
    1. Connect your iPhone with iTunes on computer
    2. Right-click or control-click on the iPhone icon under iDevice on iTunes
    3. Select "Restore from Backup" from the given options
    4. After it finishes, your contacts are back to your iPhone
    Important Note: This works only if you have made a backup for your contacts on iTunes.

    Two. Retrieve contacts from iPhone by using third party iPhone Data Recovery Software
    If you have no backup for your contacts, you can download iPhone data recovery software in order to overcome the problem and restore iPhone contacts loss. Still you have not recovered lost contact from iPhone, some on-line applications also available which can be helpful in restoring precious contact details, probably will be able to find the solution to some extent.

    Hope it helps.
    Yes, the two methods are workable! No matter you have the backup files nor not, you can choose one according to your needs.

    iPhone contacts recovery will help you to recover all your lost contacts and SMS.
    Select the device to scan Get started Data Recovery for iTunes. It will list all the iDevices that has been previously synchronized with iTunes. Select your iPhone and then click “Start Scan”. Recover deleted SMS from iPhone. After the scan is finished, all your iPhone content contained in the backup file will be displayed in.
