Thanks but at the time, I didn't have Skype on my laptop and I do as little as possible through Google. Only recourse I had was the payphone by the food court and of course I couldn't call a US toll free number from there. Credit card charge was minor pain but but much better than being stuck in the airport without a boarding pass or having to exit the airport to go down to United's booking office without any assurance of re-entry.
