Are the phone line connectors the same in Canada? Could we use our answer machine (with adaptor) plug? Thanks all.

No

Probably not but why bother? You can buy a phone here with an answering machine for about £40.

Check out Future Shop.

Thanks chaps!

or get voice mail on your phone service.

Must admit, my old answerphone was high on my list of priorities when I came over

Agree. But still it's yet another thing you have to buy when you get here and another thing dumped in a landfill. Was worth asking the question I reckon.

As a wise man once said.

There is no such thing as a stupid question only stupid answers.

Maybe (like me) they hate having to record a new message

Sadly I think the connector here is different isn't it?

Yes, BUT it is possible to get an adapter

Yeah I think it's a different shape. Messages - I hate my voice so left the default on ours.

Can you not get an adaptor? I guess even if you get one the phone company won't like it; I seem to recall that BT didn't like you putting unapproved stuff on in the UK, something to do with REN loading or whatever.

Oops - sorry. I guess I should sometimes I should pay attention to the red warning about other posts.

You can probably just get a different cord:
