Can British telephones be used in Canada? British telephones have 4 wires leading into the
handset (via the connector), how many do Canadian telephones have?
TIA

Even if it works, I do doubt your phone has Industry Canada certification. Technically
speaking, it would be illegal to connect such equipment to a phone line.

Canadian phone sockets do have four wires. Yellow, green, black and red I think. I notice
in the house I bought that the previous owners had only bothered to connect two of them
but the phones still seem to work,
viz. this e-mail.

NTG, I think, but anyway, every 'normal' phone (so-called POT) needs only two wires (ISDNs
need four). Those additional two are just spare.

Two wires are the minimum required. One to send and one to receive.
