Our contact book It is no longer a handwritten notebook. Many years ago, from the time we started to save the phone numbers of our friends, family and acquaintances on the device itself. But first we kept them in the SIM card -yes, it has internal memory- and little by little we started to save them on the mobile or even later on the cloud. But going back to the SIM card, how can I recover contacts from there?
If you have lost your contacts, you can get them back
Recover deleted files, depending on the 'level' we want to reach from recovery, it may require us to do root on our smartphone. Otherwise, we may only be able to do a partial recovery, or we may not be able to access certain parts of memory. So if we are trying recover contacts that were stored in the SIM card of our device, it is best to have root permissions. Once we have them, there are several possible tools to use, but we will do it with EaseUS Mobisaver.
Step by step, how to recover deleted or lost contacts from your SIM card on Android
We will do it with the computer. Once EaseUS Mobisaver is downloaded and installed, we will open the program and connect the mobile phone to the computer with the SIM card inserted on the device. By doing so, the application will detect the device and start the process automatically scanning all kinds of deleted files. Obviously, what we want to focus on this time is the section on Contact. Therefore, in the scan we will have to select the type of file that corresponds to the contacts so that it is listed in full.
Once the device has been scanned, and we have filtered only for the contacts, we will have available a preview of the retrieved information. In this step we should already be able to see what the SIM contacts that the application has been able to retrieve. So the next thing will be to select those that interest us exclusively, or all of them together, and use the option of to export.
The complete list can be 'removed' from the device in different formats, depending on the program with which we are going to import them. We have CSV, HTML and VCF. The most convenient thing is that, once we have completed the process of recovering deleted contacts from the SIM card, we import them into our Google account to have them available in the cloud on any of our devices.

How to save contacts in Google so you never lose them again
To get us to copy the contacts of our mobile phone or SIM card to the Google account, we will need to download the contacts application. This application is proprietary to Google and will allow us to keep our contacts and phone numbers always safe.
Once we have the application installed we access the app for the first time to give it the relevant permissions, although the function that will allow us to copy our contacts is hidden within Gmail. The mail manager is the one who will allow us to copy all the contacts and for this we follow the following steps:
- We enter Gmail and click on the menu bar.
- We choose contacts and the app that we have installed before will open with other options.
- Click on the contacts menu again and select Settings.
- Among the options we seek to import.
- Then we select SIM card in case our contacts are saved on the card.
- Publish .vcf files for the contacts saved in the phone.
