Dear Debbichi,

The k-point grid for the phonon calculation depends upon the symmetry
direction in which you want to plot the band structure. Please see some
basic solid state physics book for the same. You will get the better idea.
And use fine mesh for better calculation. Information will be available in
Marder's solid state physics book, and some basic crystallography books...
