The nice people at TelAppliant will sell you an analogue FXO card,
and are based in London, England.  See here:

The Digium X100P (well, the X101P now) works in England with the notable
exception of support for BT's caller ID.

All phones should be allocated a context from which to begin their
search of the dialplan (extensions.conf).  Phones can all be told to
start from the same context or can start from different contexts,
as you see fit.  You can then include other contexts into the various
"top-level" contexts you set up, as appropriate for your application.
