Duplicate Contacts

[chrischoi]

This is a Verizon service issue. Verizon side between Cloud and Messages. 

Causes issues. Has nothing to do with the phone itself or Google Contacts. 

Where are these contacts stored and how do I get rid of the duplicates. 

Don't bother telling me you'll message me because you don't respond anyway. Even after verification you don't contact me like you say yo will.
