Backup assistant issue for iPhone4

Unfortunately, the Backup Assistant keeps duplicating (3-5x) contacts and it takes way too long to delete each contact.  I deleted all the duplicates online through the vzw website and tried to run the back up to sync with the changes I made online.  However, when I run the app it's telling me it's backing up 1400+ contacts!  What's going on with this app? And why can't I 'Sync' from the website? (it tells me 'sync' is not compatible with my phone).  Please help!

Good morning SH050107.

Who likes having the same contacts in their phone 3-5 times? Especially when it uses up so much of your memory that you could use for other things. I'm sorry you're having this problem. Let's get this taken care of! When did you notice this start happening? How long have you had your iPhone 4? Please try deleting the application from your phone, then restart the phone, and then turn back on and re-download Backup Assistant. Let's see if this helps. Please keep us posted.

Thank you,

This did not fix the problem unfortunately. It is still saying I have 1470 contact being transferred when I only have about 220. This is the worst!

Why isnt the link https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/ba_nab/overview_def.jsp for the backup assistant functioning? I want to "manage my contacts" there - I.E. I want to add my contacts on the computer then sync to my phone yet the site isnt there anymore. Whats up with that? Please advise.

Have you tried logging into your on-line My Verizon account and clicking on Manage My Contacts?
