Recover Deleted Exchange Account Contact from iPhone So I removed an Exchange account from my iPhone not realizing that the phone had been saving new contacts there by default (instead of to my gmail account).  I no longer have access to that Exchange account, so re-adding it is not an option.

Is there any way to recover the contacts (and export them to a CSV or some other format so I can add them to Gmail)?

Also, the phone was never upgraded to iOS 6, so it's still running iOS 5
If I am understanding the question correctly:


You had an Exchange account set up on iPhone.
Contacts were being saved to the Exchange account instead of your Google account (also set up on the phone)
You removed the Exchange account and no longer have access to it
You need a contact you added to the Exchange account


Assuming all of the above is accurate, then no, there is no way to retrieve it.
