Your cellular carrier may have a tool available to help move your contacts. It's also slightly possible they can help with your photos, but that is much less likely.

Hi I suspect if you can get your Photos onto a Window laptop through a USB connection that recognizes your phone as a camera you will eventually be able to move them through iTunes sync to your iPhone.

Good luck
