While my colleaugue Ms. Buerger is correct in the most literal interpretation of a no contact order, there might be a way to have it modified, particularly if contact is necessary to confer with counsel and co-counsel in the preparation of your defense. Judges don't issue no contact orders without cause, so there's more information about the case which ytou haven't shared here, no should you. Consult your attorney to discuss your options, but until the judge's order is modified, follow the guidelines Ms. Buerger wrote.Good Luck.

If he contacts you and you respond in any way, you still are in violation of the "no contact" court order. That could result in your bond being revoked and your arrest. If you get arrested for violating the conditions of your pretrial release, you may not be able to bond back out.
If your boyfriend tries to contact you, you are not allowed even allowed to respond by telling him that you cannot have contact with him. You are not allowed to respond, as noted above, in any way! If he tries to contact you in person, you must avoid him by walking away. If he tries to contact you at your home, do not answer the door if you know he is there. If you answer the door, not knowing he is there, just close the door immediately (without saying anything to him) and lock your door so that he cannot come inside.
Also, keep in mind, you cannot have any indirect contact either. So if your boyfriend comes to you house and someone else is there with you, you cannot tell that person to answer the door and tell him that you can't talk to him. Instructing someone else to tell him something would be indirect contact and a violation of the "no contact" provision.
