If you were syncing Contacts with iCloud, go to iCloud.com/Account Settings using a browser. Scroll to the bottom and under Advanced, is a Restore Contacts option.


If you weren't syncing Contacts with iCloud, do you have a backup you can restore from? Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer then when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a backup to see the contents and only restore certain files.


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.    *
