Hey everyone, my neighbors recently lost their phone, but thankfully, it was returned! The problem is that the phone has been factory reset, which wiped out all their important contacts. They didn't have their contacts synced to a Google account, and there's also nothing on the SIM card. I've tried a few things, but I haven't had much luck. Is there any method, software, or tool that can help recover contacts from a phone that has undergone a factory reset?

I agree with the previous comment; it really depends on your skills and budget. Professional recovery services can be really pricey, ranging anywhere from $100 to over $1,000. If you don’t feel confident, taking the phone to a repair shop is a wise choice. They have the tools and expertise to help. Just make sure to ask about potential costs upfront!
Unfortunately, it’s generally not possible to recover contacts after a factory reset unless you had a backup. You could look into professional data recovery services, but be prepared for a hefty bill, possibly in the hundreds. For a DIY approach, you'd need some technical skills and possibly a deep dive into the phone's internals, which could be risky. My advice? Treat this as a lesson about data backups moving forward!
