I wasn't able to test it with ios6 since I immediately updated from ios6.1JB-

I added a couple new contacts on my phone and they don't sync or show on OSX iMessage or my iPad.

Couldn't find this on the forum and I'd assume that its a JB bug?

Turn contact syncing off

Try browsing to /var/mobile/Library/addressbook

Delete whatever is inside (this WILL remove all your current contacts). Make a backup just in case

Respring, open contacts app and it should be empty now

Enable contact syncing in iCloud. Merge contacts. Make a new contact and see if syncs to iCloud now

It didn't delete anything in the contacts.
 
Must be something wrong with iCloud's server. That shouldn't be a JB bug... Cause that's never happened to me before..

I'd say check iCloud website and edit a contact from there and see if anything changes on your iOS device.

I made a fake contact from icloud and it showed up in my iPhone's contact however it doesn't work the other way. I guess it's not JB but something isn't working right. iCloud is up (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/)

I feel like restoring the phone but it could be a waste of time.
 
Any other accounts (gmail, outlook, etc.) syncing contacts?
If so, give disabling the other account a try.

Checked your iCloud settings on your iPhone? Uncheck and Check the contacts pane through iCloud. See if that works.

I'll give it a shot, thanks

I always had google contacts disabled and somehow it was on since I upgraded to IOS7. I just disabled it and I'll play with it and see if it caused it. Thanks!

At this point, I think it was google sync that had turned itself on. It wasn't JB.
