I've had to call the embassy for visa/passport issues. Also, I had to call for issues with an international bank account I had.

  >I've had to call the embassy for visa/passport issues. Why on earth would you do this? Your country's embassy is a local phone call, in whatever country you're in. Your embassy isn't in your home country, it's in the country you're now present in (geographically at least, but not legally, but the phone number is still a local number). Also, this stuff can usually be handled online these days.

    That depends massively on the countries concerned. US, UK and the like yes but for many countries even friendly ones the closest diplomatic mission is often in a nearby country, eg for Bangladesh it might be in Delhi, for NZ in Canberra. And by their nature they deal with a lot of things which aren't readily handled online.
