"This brings to mind a related question:  Where exactly did Ron go to 
use the telephone?   Was it the one in the village?  I seem to 
remember there being reference to a phone in Ottery-St. Catchpole.  
Didn't Molly use it to call for muggle taxis or something in GoF?  If 
so, Ron could have asked his mother, maybe.   But he must have been 
quite a sight, shouting at the top of his lungs and must have called 
attention to himself."

--At first I thought that perhaps in his fascination for Muggles 
Arthur might have gotten a telephone for the Burrow, but on second 
thought I'm not sure that this is possible. We know things like 
phones and computers don't work at Hogwarts, but IIRC that doesn't 
mean they don't/wouldn't work in a typical wizarding home. 

If not then I can just see Ron in Ottery St. Catchpole, screaming 
into the phone and having everyone give him funy looks whilst 
thinking it's perfectly normal... :-)
