I lost all of my iPhone contacts. How can I get them back?

I restored my iphone and noticed that all my contacts were gone. I went to restore it from a backup, but the only backup I had was one from 2 minutes earlier (also with no contacts).Is there any way I can get them back?

I've done that before I just had to go to my messages and type in a name and send a NEW text then get their number then save it

No. Ask people for their numbers again.

  • My iPhone deleted all my notes. Can I get them back? I added a new email, after having a problem with the same one and I deleted it. After I added it back, all my notes were gone. I thought it was a glitch so I turned off my phone and then back on again and it was still gone. Can I get them back? I had a lot of important writing in those documents.

  • My contacts disappeared from my contact list on the iPhone 5s, randomly. How can I get them back? My contact list somehow erased when it was in my purse. The contacts are still there when I create a text message or search someone to text, but I can't dial out because the contacts from my contact list are gone. My iCloud is still on, so it's not that. Is there a way I can get them back?
  • Lost all my contacts, messages, and pictures on my iPhone, can I get it back? I got a new iPhone for Christmas and haven't synced it at all with the iTunes on my computer until now. When I synced it, it asked if I wanted to restore the information from my iPod, or start it as a new iPhone. I thought the restore option would just carry over all my songs, but now I've lost all my contacts, messages, and pictures I had on my iPhone and it looks exactly like my iPod does. Is there any way to fix this?
