Answer 1

If you have the homehub which is wireless, yes, even some older BT router are wireless, so yes.

Ask BT to itemize your bill, this way you can pick out work calls cost.

Dell are good providers of cheap laptops. Assuming you are in the UK, they are advertising reasonable laptops from 279 upwards (excl VAT and Del).
Wireless is something you use to access your broadband. I assume you already have a connection to the internet and this can be in 2 flavours: router and modem. If your existing computer connects to the internet via a USB port then chances are you have a modem and need to upgrade to a router. A router works as a gateway to your internet connection allowing a number of computers to use it at the same time. Setting up routers is fairly simple. If you choose a router, ensure you select one with wireless built in (most will have these days) and ensure it also supports your internet connection technology (ie ADSL or cable).
If you already have a router without wireless you can add an access point which effectively adds wireless connectivity to your existing router.

I have a notebook for sale for $500. Its a brand New acer aspire 5100-3577. You can get the specs online. But yes, so long as your broadband router has a wifi router built in, you could connect using the wifi on the notebook. BUT your router has to support WIFI. You will know if it does or not if it has an antenna attached to it.

Use your cellphone to make your calls. Then you can go online, print out your bill, and highlight the calls for the company.
