Duplicate Contact Entries - Help Please!

[aceofspades923]

Every single contact in my address book has a duplicate, since first transferring the contacts from my old phone. However, sometimes it will ways <m> next to both, and sometimes one will have <txt>. First, why do some have <txt> as the default. Second, What can I do to delete all of the duplicates without having to go through all of my contacts?

On a side note, is there a way to group contacts so I can send a text message to the group?

Thank you.
