How do I recover my old phone numbers of contacts?

1

I'm trying to recover one phone number that was repopulated on to this phone when it was new maybe 7 months ago but since got erased accidently by a friend. So I know the number is on a list somewhere! As a matter of fact this number has made it thru 3 new phones when re populating contacts on phone and emails and all so it's got to be somewhere doesn't it? Thanx up front!!

Contacts can be viewed, in your computer, athttps://contacts.google.com/, if correctly synced to your Gmail account.

You can restore Contacts up to 30 days prior. Go to Settings >Undo Changes (Settings under little "gear wheel" top right hand corner).

Once you've restored your contacts, you'll need to find out what's causing them to go missing. Start with third party applications or devices. If any of them are interfering with your account, they may be causing your contacts to disappear. To Revoke Permission from an app, Go here and revoke third party access.

(If you have lost the Contacts on your device,and they were only stored locally, or on your sim card, or contact sync was not turned on in your device, then these particular contacts cannot be recovered.)

Need help syncing Contacts to a device?

Turning off "Power Saving" in some Samsungand LGdevices also seems to help, but not in all cases. Try that, even if your phone is not one of these brands.

And best to use the Google Contacts app from Google Play.
