Telephones
 
Can anyone tell me if you can take your own telephone, as in domestic house phone not mobile, and use it in Australia, or there a different connection? Are decent house phones expensive over there? Thinking digital dect type thing with answerphone.
Any help appreciated! :confused:

It's a different connection, but your phone will work with an Aussie plug. :)
