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?

* look on freecycle
* go to every charity shop in town looking for one, fail to find any, shrug and buy one of your choice, spot one in the very next charity shop you enter
* build your own from raw materials, including spaghetti, marbles and old inner tubes

You mean a landline? I have a spare (extremely basic) phone if you want it, but it's really worth going cordless. Tescos do a cheap cordless phone that I've been very happy with.
