Wondershare Dr Fone is a small giant among data recovery applications mentioned on the Softdroid Recovery. It also helps to recover contacts from Android phones and tablet devices.

This step is mandatory because Dr Fone can not search for deleted contacts on a phone with limited permissions.

On the next stage Dr Fone asks you to select deleted file types on Android. Just tap  Contacts – and you’ll speed up search and save your time.

Then Dr Fone scans device memory and shows a Windows Explorer-like window. Here you see the results of searching. For a quick preview on Android you can use a Dr Fone sidebar displaying all relevant contacts information for each item. Select the ones to be restored on a phone sd card.

How to restore contacts stored on a SIM card?

First of all, I’d put the question another way: is it possible to restore a SIM card manually? Definitely not. As a rule, the replacement of a lost SIM card is free of charge. You need to write a statement about loss of sim-card and send a request to the mobile centre which provided you with a phone number.

Consequently, getting a new SIM card  on the hands, there is no use to search for the missing contacts. Unlike, say, in case of cloud sync, when contacts from Address book are automatically saved on a Google server as you enter your email address in Android OS parameters.

Of course, you can always find “caring” services that offer recovering of the information contained on a SIM card. However, this is nothing more than hype. The only possible way to restore a lost SIM card is to find the item itself. Just try to recall where you could drop it.
