However, you need to be sure that you're able to prove that the trips had to do with your business. The same applies to any purchase you do related to your business like computers, paper, ink, ect.

If your business requires you to be on the phone for some reason keep the business phone line separate from the one you use for personal calls. You want your business to appear professional; plus, you wouldn't want a kid or someone else not associated with your company to answer the company phone.
