Losing important contacts from your itel phone can be stressful, especially when you need them urgently. Whether the contacts were accidentally deleted or lost due to a software issue, knowing how to restore deleted contacts on itel is crucial for quick recovery.
The good news is that there are multiple reliable ways to retrieve your lost contacts, depending on whether you had them synced to your Google account, saved on a SIM card, or backed up elsewhere. In this guide, we'll explore four proven methods to help you recover deleted contacts on your itel device efficiently.
If your itel device was synced with your Google account, you're in luck. Google Contacts offers a built-in "Undo Changes" feature that lets you roll back your contacts to a previous state within 30 days of deletion. This method is free, convenient, and doesn't require installing any extra apps, but only works if contact sync was enabled beforehand.
Here are the steps to recover itel deleted contacts with Google Contacts:
Step 1. Open a browser on your computer or mobile device and go to Google Contacts.
Step 2. Sign in with the Google account linked to your itel phone.
Step 3. Click the gear icon in the top right corner and choose "Undo changes".
Step 4. Select the appropriate time frame (e.g., 10 minutes ago, yesterday, or a custom date within the last 30 days).
Step 5. Confirm the restoration by clicking "Undo".
Step 6. On your itel phone, go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Google", tap your account, and hit "Sync now" to apply the restored contacts.
Many itel users store contacts directly on the SIM card. If that's the case for you, recovering them can be as simple as importing the saved SIM contacts back into your phone. This method is quick and doesn't require internet access, but it only works if the contacts were saved to the SIM and usually contains limited information (just names and phone numbers).
Below is the guide on restoring deleted contacts on itel from a SIM card:
Step 1. Make sure the SIM card is properly inserted into your itel device.
Step 2. Open the Contacts or Phone app.
Step 3. Tap the menu icon (three dots) and select "Settings" or "Manage Contacts".
Step 4. Choose "Import/Export contacts" > "Import from SIM card".
Step 5. Select where you want the contacts imported, either your device storage or your Google account.

Some mobile carriers, such as MTN, Airtel, Glo, or Vodacom, offer contact backup and sync services. If you enable such a service, you may be able to restore your deleted contacts directly from your carrier's cloud system. This is a useful fallback, especially if you never used Google or local backups, but availability and features vary depending on your carrier and country, and it may require you to contact customer service.
The general steps are as follows:
Step 1. Log in to your carrier's official website or app using your phone number or account credentials.
Step 2. Look for the contact backup or sync section.
Step 3. If a restore option is available, follow the on-screen instructions to push the saved contacts back to your device.
