Don't call, write to them. Ask for a response in writing. If the answer is yes then bring the letter with you to the border when you cross. You will then have written permission and there will be no doubt as to who said what on the phone.
I would do both. Yes, I would prefer it in writing but fairly good chance a written correspondence goes into a black hole never to be seen again, plus it will probably still include the caviots that the border agent has the final call. If you talk to someone, they will likely give you a more honest answer.
Of course, if you aren't leaving for a month or more, the rules can always change.
