Restoring contacts on the S4

[AC Question]

I recently reset my phone to factory setting. Some of the contacts were directly on the phone and now I can't seem to get them back.

How do I get those contacts back?

They werent google contacts nor were they saved on the SD card. They were saved directly to the phone.

They are unfortunately gone. When performing a factory reset it erases all data from the internal phone memory.

Did you use Kies to back up your data at any time?

When you say directly on the phone, do you mean to internal memory or the SIM?
