How can I get rid of "Apple Inc" as a contact... permanently?
Ok, excuse me if I sound as if I'm having a bit of a rant here, but I'm utterly exasperated by this one.
I don't want the "Apple Inc. entry in my Contacts for the following reasons:
1) It contains an 0800 number, which is not valid from a mobile phone (you have to drop the leading '0' to make the call, which is not easy from the iPhone).
2) 0800 numbers are expensive from mobile phones and not included in your tariff.
3) I already have an alternative contact for Apple that gets me to Tech Support on a local rate number.
4) This contact seems to replicate itself in my Contacts every week or so, resulting in 3 or 4 duplicate entries.
5) It's my contacts list; not Apple's. I just plain don't want that entry in there.
You would think this would be a simple case of deleting the entry from Contacts but it always re-appears, regardless or whether I delete it from the iPhone, MobileMe or my Mac (and watch that the other two sync up and remove it).
What appears to be happening is that Apple run some sort of script to add this entry to my Contacts list every week or so if it's not already there - is that the case? If so, it appears to be broken, as demonstrated by the duplicates.
Is there any way to stop this?
