Better if

I'm asking my friend for contacts in another city. I say:

It's better if I had both their numbers and email. Or

It's better if I have both their numbers and email.

Are useable and what's the difference between the sentences?

Thanks!

It would be better if I had both their numbers and email addresses. It's better if I have both their numbers and email addresses. Both of those are OK.

  • It would be better if I had both their numbers and email addresses.
  • It's better if I have both their numbers and email addresses.
  • Both of those are OK.
  • The first is more formally polite or concessional.
