So, I have a phone line. I need a phone. What should I do?

* Buy a bog-standard cheap basic plastic handset from shop/internet?
* Browse for a shiny!futuristic phone on geek toy websites?
* Fiddle with laptop until modem, and headphone mike function together as phone?
* Grab one free when someone throws out their 5000 old useless handsets?
* Something else?
