If it's ONLY the one cable company that is using her name I'd say the problem here is with that cable company. I'd get on the local (to them) news with how little they care about dealing with identity issues. Bet the problem goes away after that. Have you run a credit report to confirm there isn't anything else odd? It seems unlikely that her ID would be used only for cable...

Blackberries on Rogers and Telus in Canada do the same, press and hold 1 to dial voicemail.

So Comcast; what does your filter suggest when there is no legal option. See: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones

I live at 1 X street, but I get mail for 2 X street all the time. Seems whoever bundles the mail can't read some days :P

Oh how I wish I had mod points for you :)

What's a phone book? (It's 2013!) ;)

Why couldn't RIM do this? It would be another revenue stream and they could add BBM to it adding even more money :)

This sounds very similar to the way the current (OS 2.1) on the RIM Playbook works, not a bad thing as it works well.

Ford has solved this with Sync: http://www.ford.com/technology/ Great system that leverages your ever changing smartphone.

Do what I do: Buy some Ikea bookshelves and put them in alphabetical order by author.

I use a Blackberry (Bold 9900) by choice. A few reasons:

- I love the keyboard!
- Unified inbox; everything is in one spot.
- Different modes; EG: when I go to bed I have a mode called "bedtime" that only alerts me if something important from someone important comes in.
- Contact based alerts. So during the day when I'm at work my phone will only "ring" if it's my mom (she has cancer, so lay off) or my wife (only calls if it's important, sends a text otherwise).
- Canadian company. Home country pride :)

Yes there is a lack of apps and yes, the Java based OS does sometimes show me the lovely hourglass but for me, it works.

As for other phones, I have looked but not willing to move at this time. I am very excited for BB10 and hope it will allow RIM to mount some kind of comeback.

I have never been randomly made fun of for my phone. Sure friends and co-workers will sometimes poke fun; but it's people I know.

Finally; it's just a phone people - there are bigger things in life to worry about.

I can't believe no one else posted this yet!

My favorite Halloween treat based on those choices is for sure gummy but my overall favorite is ice cream in sandwich form :)
