    If the sim has lost all the contacts/messages and another handset doesnt see them then sw wont find the either.

    Whwhere were the contacts stored ??

    If they were on the sim I doubt very much you getting them back. If they were on the handset then you will have to get it treated and then you should be ok.

    There is a very good chance the handset is recoverable.
