How to retrieve contacts from lost iphone?

Is there any way to retrieve contacts from an iphone without possession of the device itself?

Yes there's. Smart phones have a "sync to account" option. When you buy the phone, it should be on by stock. If you haven't messed with that setting, try going to apples site and sign in with the ID you made when you got the iPhone. If you also had Google, or any other thing synced with your phone, try those sites as well. P. S. Thats horrible about the phone. It happened to me before. I really hope my answer helped!

Yes, if you have created a backup for your contacts on iTunes, you can restore from the backup.

If you have no backup, you may need a third party iPhone data recovery software.

  • Is it possible for me to retrieve my lost iphone? So basically my phone is an iphone 5 and it's updated to the recent update of ios 7 and I only just realised that I didn't activate my icloud account and there's no lock on my phone… What I was wondering, would i be able to trace down the thief even if they deleted my icloud account and changed it to theirs and did the whole restart process ( i think it's called restoration system something ) and inserted their own sim and take out mine… Please help!
