Find contacts

I did a factory data reset on my Galaxy S6 active and all my contacts were erased. How do I get them off my sim card?

Re: Find contacts

It is unlikely your contacts are stored on your SIM card. If you don't have them backed up or stored in the cloud on your google account, they are probably gone.

Re: Lost contacts

Since this is post d in android, you should all be backing up to google.  In accounts, under back up Account, please enter or select the google Account used to sign in and set up your phone

Re: Lost contacts

If not backup, it is hard to make a recovery of your phone contacts, unless you find a recovery software to help you recover deleted contacts, I just use MobiKin doctor, I think it is possible to recover data on Android phone.

Re: Lost contacts

My old phone is Verizon Wireless & wasn't backed up. I can't get my contacts from old phone & old phone won't power on. What do I do?
