Thanks all. <br><br>Robert you are exactly right. After I had posted to the list, I went to the gas station to fill some gas in my car. The pump declined to accept my credit card. So I called the number at the back of the credit card and I got the same block-due-to-abnormal-activity message. And the automated voice also activated my card. I used it successfully at a store in few minutes.<br>
<br>I am going to place my order again now. I hope this time it goes through, else I don't have any other visa card and openmoko store doesn't accept amex.<br><br>Thanks again.<br>Jayesh<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

But its good sharing this kind of information, if the person<br>
<a href="mailto:x@openmoko.com">x@openmoko.com</a> will have to reply to each enquiry they will not have<br>
time to work :) , this way others also see the answer and good for all<br>
of us that didnt order yet (waiting for 900 mhz in openmoko shop)<br>
