Lost all Contacts

I've lost all my contacts - could this be because I was on Skype on a different laptop 2 days ago?

How do I get them all back?

Thanks, Cheers

Jon

Re: Lost all Contacts

If the version of Skype installed on this laptop was 3.8 or older, then this indeed may be the case.

Re: Lost all Contacts

 The only what I know about is to contact Skype Customer Service (contact customer service). They may be able to restore the contacts from their backup.

Have you recently used your Skype account on version older than 4.0?
