I am sure the exchange rate will work its self out it's just that Premium Support is part of the membership and as everyone knows calling the States on landlines or mobiles in the middle of the day is not cheap. The other issue is the time difference.
I use internetcalls.com for more then 10 years. For ~$10, you get 3 month US calls for free (till you start to misuse the service...) and after 3 moths you pay ~$0.01/min. If that is "not cheap", what you call "cheap"?
And yes, I have used that service to call CW support (and surprise... they speak English... if you know what I mean

).
