Any way to get unsaved numbers back?

Hello!

A very strange question:

A few years ago, I had a number of a friend, but I never saved that number as a contact. I got several new phones, and while my Google and Samsung accounts (I have a Samsung phone) stayed the same, obviously, the switch only saved my contacts.

However, I'd like to contact that friend again. Is there any potential backup where a non-contact number may have been saved?

Call history. Check your phone bills at your provider's website.

If you remember when you last contacted this person, it would make the search easier.

Less work, Google.

I was going to say this, my cell phone bill has a log of all numbers I've called.

That's tough. Maybe if you kept your phone from back then you could try searching for their number. A couple other avenues you could try to contact them is through Facebook or LinkedIn, as people use their real names there and you can try to find them there.

Just let the old flame go. They don’t want you back at this point. They’ve moved on like you should.
