📱NEW PHONE, NO NUMBERS!

LADIES AND GENTS: I had to replace my phone last week and in doing so lost all my contacts. I have had a few clients kind of hesitant when I have to re-ask for handle, name, etc. So I figured I'd make a public post explaining the issue. Please bare with me as I get you all re-saved! Sorry for the inconvenience.
Again? What Phone did you have. I need to know so I don't get one.; -)
I still think it is better to keep the contacts online and remotely purge the phone by logging out of the account.

Or like me on my regular phone, log in on an incognito web page that gets reset when the phone boots.
When I used to have T Mobile as my carrier, I got a new phone. @ that time I still had a lot of #'s from Texas, and when the T- Mobile people transferred over all my contacts, they sent them twice. So instead of 4,000 #'s I had 8,000 #'s. It was a pain to get them all deleted...

Since I no longer work in Texas I just had to sit and go through my #'s and erase all the Texas ones. Took me almost 2 days...

I am sure it could have been done easier, but I am not tech savvy...
