How do I delete read-only contacts from my Moto C Plus?

Does resetting your phone delete your contract with the phone company you are with?
Any information about your plan (billing date, phone minutes, message/data quota, etc) are stored by your company and not in your phone. Same applies to any data stored elsewhere (like contacts synced with GMail or another service). The only thing that is wiped is the data on your phone- app settings, installed apps, etc.

I factory reset my samsung phone and everything got deleted. any way to restore it?
1. To restore contacts u can go to setting, account and sync option, enter ur google account(the one u used before the reset), then it'll sync ur saved contacts/requires internet connection(u can delete any desired contact like facebook contacts using any third party app like go contact, contact remover, etc later on) 2. There're plenty freewares from playstore unless ur previous apps are paid/sharewares plus many online websites provide android apps n games(just search on google web search) 3. I've been using android for more than a couple of years and never get infected by any virus. With or without antivirus, any smartphone with any Operating System still have chances to get malfunctions which mostly are system confliction; any malfunction caused by overwrite input between one app and another or third party app conflict system app which run in the same field(e.i third party camera app which has more advanced features vs default stock camera app which end up in confliction that influence general system; just an example). 2. A factory reset usually solves most problems. I've done it more than thirty times(i guess), get hard brick and soft brick but after i managed to solve them, my phone's still running well till now.
