phone book recovery

[Anonymous]

Hi, my old phone has died and all my contacts were saved to the phone memory not the sim. Is there any way to get all my old contacts onto my new phone? Thanks.

Were they backed up anywhere else at all?

Hi,

Hopefully these were backed upto Gmail as an example etc or to some form of PC Suite.

GMail Link to restore contacts : https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1069522?hl=en

If not its a learning curve and a process of re entering them.  

What went wrong with the phone.

Try a hard reset !

This hard reset could delete saved data.

Check your Gmail account. If your contacts were saved to your phone, they should be in Gmail as well. When you set up your new phone and log in to Gmail, all your contacts should transfer to your new phone.
