Hi, unfortunately my daughter deleted part of my contact numbers from the Contact app. They are important to me and I don't have any other way to get in touch with the people again. How can I get back the lost contacts? By the way, I didn't backup my Android phone at all. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

It is really frustrating to lose contacts from your phonebook. You may retrieve all them back from your Google account if you have imported your contacts to Gmail before. But is it possible to get those deleted phone numbers back without any backup for those users who are never creating Android backup? The answer is of course yes. There is actually an efficient and quick way to help you restore contacts from the device. If you recover deleted contacts right after they are lost then you will 100% get them back, but if you have been using your device a lot and over writing those lost data, then you may lose them forever. So use FoneLab Android Data Recovery, a contact recovery program to save your lost data from danger as soon as possible after you encounter data loss.
