It doesn’t take a long process to restore your contacts from the Verizon cloud. As long as you have the contents backed up on the cloud service, it will be very easy to restore the contents to a new or even your current phone.
On the cloud app, the ‘contact’ option is not usually seen with the other list of contents that you can restore like photos, videos, audio, and documents. There is no need to worry, you can use the Verizon cloud website to restore your contacts either on your Android, your iPhone or even on your computer.
