Telephone!
I use a Polycom SoundPoint IP-550 phone (together with Asterisk running in my ESXi host, connected to Flowroute as my SIP provider) for a variety of fun things. Mostly to make me feel cool, but for the odd occasion I need to make a telephone call, this works far better than trying to use a cell phone inside of this gigantic brick bunker of sadness.
This phone has been an interesting point of confusion for the hall staff as well. We have POTS jacks in the wall, but they're not connected (no dial tone at all) and apparently the concept of VoIP is mind-boggling to them. Heh.
