How do I resolve contact syncing problem on iPhone?

I can't seem to get my iPhone to sync Contacts with iCloud. I've disconnected iCloud by logging out, restarted the phone, logged back in, and nothing seems to send new contacts to the iCloud version. Other services sync (Notes), but Contacts won't.


What should I do? Any insight appreciated.


Cheers

Settings>Apps>Contacts>Default Account.


Check and make sure that iCloud is the default.

If it isn't they're not syncing because you're creating them in a different account or locally.
