Help Help retrieving a lost number!

I have a friend whom I frequently contact whose number I didn't save out of sheer laziness. I cleared my call log just now and to my horror realized I didn't save their number anywhere.

As luck would have it I now urgently need to contact them and have no means of doing so aside from waiting for them to call me.

Is there any way possible to retrieve a frequently dialed number that has not been saved to contacts after clearing my call log?
 
Sign into Gmail.com on your PC.

Open contacts:

1OIPL




Restore contacts:

1OITE




Select how long ago:

1OIUt


If that fails, hopefully he/she shows up in Most Contacted or Other Contacts:

1OIVS

On my blackberry I had an app called dexrex that backs up all of your texts with their number. It sure saved my *** when I didn't save a customers number.

Also there's funambol (now known as onemediahub). Honestly, I'm not sure if either app will backup your call logs.

Titanium Backup _may_ do this, its the most well-known backup app.

Hopefully this will help you out in the future.

I didn't know that metro has that call log feature! Why can't they put all of their co switch features together on one page!
