Hi guys,

As many of you may know, the Moto X is currently on sale through Moto Maker for $150 off. I've tried purchasing it but I have run into some enormous complications. I'm hoping some of you might be able to give some advice/assistance...

First off, I'm aware that I can get it through Mobicity, but I don't think anybody should pay close to $1000 for a phone, so that's not an option.
Secondly, I know that I could buy it through eBay, but I don't want to go down that road either, for reasons I won't bother getting into.

With the 150 off sale, this phone is finally affordable to me. However, the problem lies with actually paying for it. I made a purchase on Monday for the Dev edition of the phone, and it went through. Two hours later, I got an email saying that my order was cancelled. Numerous chats and phonecalls to Motorola have given me one clear message - they don't want my Kiwi money! In spite of the order going through, the purchase needs to be made with a US credit card. I have also heard that there is another stringent condition - that the shipping name/address must batch the credit card name/address.

I have explored virtual visa cards such as that of EntroPay, but these don't allow me to modify the name/address of the card, so I would waste time/money topping one up only for it to be rejected again. I don't have any friends in the US who are able to make the purchase for me, so I don't really see myself as having any options.

Can you offer any advice on other methods I might not have realised? Or would you be willing to lend a hand in purchasing it? I'm desperate as desperate can be 


Thanks in advance
