Do what I did for my company, and go over to T-mobile - some of their business packages count calls to both landlines and mobiles in North America and Europe (except Switzerland!) within the package minutes.

Does anyone know a good place to buy a phone? I need functionality like a mute button, speakerphone, able to plugin a headset, and sites like Currys either don't stock such phones, or don't advertise these features.

Use Skype to call states and put through call charges on expenses? (maybe)
Its cheap as chips any way.

Do I need to be worried here? Or just go ahead on the company credit card?

I do have a dedicated study (well I will have in a few days) but does using the phone for non-business purposes raise a big problem anyway? I was allowed to make personal calls on the phone when I was an employee, and non-skinflint companies would often let you use a company mobile for personal calls (as long as you're not an idiot with it).

Is it going to be kept and used in a room which is now a dedicated office?
if so and based on what you said about features you need, i'd say yes...
If its going to be kept in a room thats also used by the family then it might be simpler to just take the tax hit.
I'm not an accountant.

Best thing to do would be to get a seperate dedicated line put in for the business. Company can then pay for everything regardless.
