The daughter of a recently deceased Minnesota woman has recently resolved a dispute with a cell phone provider who kept sending her mother several months after her death. Heike Ahlers claims to have called T-Mobile to cancel the account back in April on the day of her mother's funeral. The company did not deactivate the account and continued to charged the deceased woman for service.

In July, the monthly charges finally stopped. It wasn't because her mom was gone, but because the bill wasn't paid.

The information was turned over to a collection company and Ahlers hasn't been able to settle her mom's estate because of the problem.

"I've tried on several occasions to work this out with T-Moblile," read Ahlers from a letter she sent the company. "I give up. You can try and contact Gisela at Fort Snelling National Cemetery."
