Can I legally request my personal phone records from a previous employer?

Can I legally request my personal phone records from a previous employer?

I used to work for a company and one of my benefits was that my personal cell
phone was on the ‘company plan’ I left that office a few months ago not on the
greatest terms and now need access to phone calls I made while on their plan 6
months ago for a totally personal non work related reason. Do I have any legal
right to request these documents? Is it like the legal right I have to see my
personal file? I really need these records and don’t want to have to subpoena
them or anything if I don’t have to. I work/live in NJ.
