There's no such thing as carrier contacts. Public Mobile does not maintain a list of contacts for customers. This is up to the customer to do and the information is saved on the device.  Exporting contacts from this device won't work as they aren't there based on this customer's reports.  Also, exporting the contacts would be the purpose of backing up the contacts and would only be an option if the customer currently has the contacts saved on a different device.  The customer would then need to import the contacts to the current device to restore them.

Unfortunately, this is a still a phone device issue.  Carriers do not store or maintain your contact list.  If the list hasn't been backed up at your request to service such as one of your e-mail accounts or unless you've saved the information to a file, you'll need to manually re-enter the entries.
