To play devil's advocate...
I believe this is guaranteed by some health and safety law.
The break room was kindly provided by the company and is a priviledge.
I don't smoke. I believe the employee's handbook says that smoking breaks come at the expense of "tea" breaks, however, so this too is clearly a provided priviledge.
I know of companies where using the work phone for personal use is a sacking offense. I don't anyway; I always use my mobile.
The phone in the break room has, I believe, an outgoing call block on it because someone (we suspect the cleaners) used it for premium rate lines at one time. Clearly usage of the phones for outgoing calls is thus a priviledge.
To the OP's question: I reccommend asking the network administrator. They may say yes, they may say no, but it's just rude to assume it's a "yes, if you can get around my security measures" straight up.
Kas.
