I'm actually very bad with phone calls myself, but if you find someone with similar interests as you, it might end up being quite a lot of fun. If I'm interested I'll talk forever.XD Just ask simple open-ended questions and such, like "What's your favorite TV show?" and such. Remember to have an answer ready yourself.^_^
It's not that hard online.XD The internet gives you a bit of anonymity; if you mess up, you can try again with a different screen name or something.
