So the question I have is; I managed to erase my phone but I still have the account number is there anyway to retrieve my bitcoins? I'm rather new to the bitcoins world and would greatly appreciate some help regarding this topic. Please if you know what I can do to recover my losses it would be greatly appreciated.
If you are using the Coinbase App, then they have control of the bitcoins and can probably hep you.
If you are using the blockchain.info app, then you will need to remember the password (or the pneumonic word set) that you used when you set up the account.
If you are using a wallet app that uses a deterministic method of generating the private keys, then you will need to know the seed value for the wallet.
If you are using a wallet app that generates random private keys, then you will need to either have a backup of the wallet from before you erased it, or you will need to recover the private keys from the erased memory of the phone. If you don't have a backup, and you are unable to recover the erased keys then the bitcoins will be unspendable forever.
