Jabomano--
welcome to Kindleboards! I'm so sorry your first post had to be about a problem! Yes, definitely call Customer Service. From what others have posted, you might have to leave a message, but that lets them look up your info and have Kindle Support call you back. Let us know what you hear from them.
