Last year when I tried BU Assist it only backedup 6 contacts. Verzon told me it was a bug they were working on. I just tried it today and it backed up 8 contacts. Does anyone know something better then 2 a year ?

Ok. I was looking on the PC side in Gmail Contacts. It does not show there. I do see it on my phone as you say. The ones that are getting backed up with BA have the Phone Symbol and are the # service numbers that came with the phone plus one other that I guess saved to the phone contacts by accident. There is no way to change from one to the other or add a Phone Contact symbol to a Gmail contact. I did create a generic phone contact then joined one of my gmail contacts to it and it came up with both symbols however once I joined the generic phone contact it was no longer available to be joined again with another gmail contact. So I would have to create duplicates of all my gmail contacts as phone contacts in order for BA to back them up. Not worth the effort. I hate being beat by a device or application ! I once imported all my contacts from gmail to Facebook and found out that gmail saves every email address you ever used even if you do not have it in your contact list. So I would up with over 600 contacts in whatever I was doing and had to delete all the ones that I had no idea who they were.

I use Google Backup, it works flawlessly for me and haven't seen any issues... BA doesn't seem to work well with a smartphone...
Guess BA not that smart..
If you have a Google account setup on your device your contacts and email should be synced already unless you disabled the option, just log into you account and check email at https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=wm#inbox or Contacts at https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=wm#contacts

In the contacts app look at the list of your contacts. Do they have a "G" or Google listed in the top right corner?

I have seen a choice to save to Gmail or Phone before but I do not see anything in th Backup Assistant record to indicate that.

I have my Contacts sync with Google and my PC however that would not get them into a new phone not using Gmail or Android. Using Backup Assistan would but I still can not get it to back up more then 7 Contacts. In another reply I was told it is backing up only contacts saved to the phone and not to Gmail / Google but I dont see anywhere in each contact record where that would be indicated.

You can export your entire contact list to your SD
card by pressing menu and choosing the export option.
You can also log into your gmail account from a computer and go to your contacts and under more options (I believe), you can export your list of contacts from there.
