Will our land line telephones work in NZ. I know the plug for our answer machine will need changing but what about the bit that plugs into the network?

scraped this off the ENZ site for 2005:-


For the avoidance of doubt - Others may have said just change the plugs. Unplug your UK phone, ship it here, plug straight into the phone socket and make some phone calls back to your pals in the UK to let the know what they are missing.

If your UK phone needs to be connected to mains electrickery you (cordless or comined ans machine) you will need to change the mains elec plug to fit NZ sockets.

AFAIK Caller ID hasn't yet been implemented here - you can't see who's calling you. Thats about the only difference to the UK

Not having bought landline hardware in the UK for so long I could not comment if it is cheaper here or not. We bought a pair of cordless landline fones for $85 from the warehouse (where everybody gets a bargain)


so to me it looks as though they are ok.

Hi

I have caller ID in New Zealand . I don`t think the phones will work here though as we didn`t bring ours with us , my OH installs in NZ so he would have said bring them if they worked I think , I will ask him this evening

In short - yes. The standard phone socket is a BT socket and both of our phones work fine.
