Firstly, you can rely on iCloud or iTunes to recovery iPhone data, after all, it is free.

1. Connect your iPhone with iTune on computer
2. Right-click or control-click on the iPhone icon under iDevice on iTunes
3. Select "Restore from Backup" from the given options
4. After it finishs, your contacts are back to your iPhone  
Important Note: This works only if you have made a backup for your contacts on iTunes.  
In case that the iCloud or iTunes cannot help to make a iPhone data recovery, you can turn to a third party tool.
