OK, I understand what you're saying now. When I bought stuff from overseas, I didn't have to worry about the expense of calling because my VOIP carrier lets me call most of Europe free.
If your internet is cable or DSL, you could sign up for Vonage for ~$26 and call 'em and it would still be cheaper than a $40 LD call with whoever you've got now. Or perhaps Skype is an option?
