Select a backup that contains call history you want and restore it on your iPhone. However, please bear it in mind that all the data on your iPhone will be overwritten by the back up in this way.

Go to Edit> Preferences>Devices, then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. Then, connect your iPhone to computer and click on the iPhone icon in iTunes, click "Restore Backup" and choose a backup to restore in the pop-up.
