When is it ok to call your roommate?

I know most people prefer e-mail or Facebook, but here is the problem. We are moving in to school Thursday and I have sent my roommate two e-mail messages and a Facebook message over the span of a few weeks but got no response. I really want to start splitting things like microwave, phone, and other room items. Her phone number is listed in the contact info; would it be wrong to call her at this point, with only three days left until move-in, including today? I don’t want to come off as crazy and overbearing but I do want a refrigerator! Large items like that would be difficult to get on-campus once my parents leave with the car.

(Oh, and I’m not making any assumptions about her yet! I figured she is probably traveling, but it wouldn’t hurt to try exhausting all my options in the rare case she doesn’t look at her school e-mail or Facebook often)
