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...
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.
+1. Wish I had mod points for you. A business needs to ensure people can WORK and make money, not confirm to unrealistic ideals. Yes, sometimes you can make it work and I'm sure someone will cite a few cases but for the majority of people the turnkey is the best solution.
I assume your on Windows and that MSE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials) is available. Seems to work fine for most and MS seems to have not made it a huge resource hog.
I first thought of "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" Someone with a lot of money and free time could really mess with Nestle, although I doubt they would really try too hard to track you down....

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
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.

For now nothing beats a desktop for a gaming PC. I just built a new one and got Steam. Nothing else like it right now.
If your right (and I think you are) that makes a lot more sense.
You beat me to it

Just a new line inside an existing facility. Still good news :)
Good idea!
Mandrake -> Ubuntu and some others around 1998 - 2000 that I can't remember.

I am one of the "IT people" and I am not an idiot, just lazy this morning.
Thank you!
LOL!
The source link doesn't work. It goes to a dead link and appears to be the mobile site. Please correct.

That was my first thought too.
