I've never seen someone drop their email in to the question. Is this allowed? I don't see why not but I find it odd.... – Frank V Apr 12 '10 at 15:01

I agree, odd and probably not compatible with the nature of SO... It should probably be removed from the question – code_burgar Apr 12 '10 at 15:03

Email addresses in questions, duplicate user accounts, posting comments as answers. Not a good start, really. Have a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/faq – Robert Harvey Mar 11 '11 at 00:11

I think what you are looking for is ABGroupCopyArrayOfAllMembers. See the AddressBook Programming Guide and the QuickContacts example for more info on using the AB framework.

from what I can tell from a quick look at ABMultiValue in AddressBook.sqlitedb, you might get it like this:
1 - sqlite to /var/mobile/Library/AddressBook/AddressBook.sqlitedb
2 - SELECT value FROM ABMultiValue => into some array
3 - count everything in there that matches /^[0-9 +]+$/
look around for some more help doing these steps
Edit: there's probably also some way to do it with this method: How do you get a persons phone number from the address book?
