Thanks for everyone's help though! Next time, I'll try to plan further ahead.

I would take more cnx to minimize scamcharges.
You can search the availability yourself and then call US.
(Some of the agents aren't very good with geography and I have a feeling that a 14 year old student in India might be better at it than they are.)
