Try this

#import <AddressBook/AddressBook.h>
// ...

- (int)contactsCount {    
    ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate( );
    CFIndex nPeople = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount( addressBook );
    CFRelease( addressBook );
    return (int)nPeople;
}

You could try using Erica Sadun's ABContactHelper.

At least as a starting point.

In ABContactsHelper.h there are declarations:

+ (int) contactsCount;
+ (int) contactsWithImageCount;
+ (int) contactsWithoutImageCount;
+ (int) numberOfGroups;

I think it's a little outdated so you might have to tweak the code a little.

NSArray *people = [book people];
int count = [[book people] count];
