06Tina, I switched phones and lost your number. Would you add it back to my contacts?
Even if you hadn’t had Tina’s number before, the fact that you already know her will make her more inclined to give it to you. Asking her to add it herself is more informal and will make her feel more comfortable about giving it to you.
