Then you may say that we have no need to remember them, as our contacts list on our mobile phone will help us do that. Yes, you are right. Then you can't deny that contacts list is of great importance for all mobile phone users. Without contacts, we can hardly text or call anybody. So it will be a huge tragedy if we lose them suddenly. As you know, it is a time-consuming and laborious work to add them to our mobile phone one by one. While, if you have backed up your contacts before, you can restore them to your phone easily. And if we have no backup files, whether will we lose the whole contacts forever? Of course not. In this situation, I suggest you to try a recovery program.
