My phone has died and apparently is not repairable. Is there any way the contacts, messages, photos can be retrieved please? I am a non- technical senior and never did any back ups! Lesson learned the hard way

Haha, very funny. I have found that my phone is synced(sp?) on my account but I can't find anything related to a back up0 -
