BT phones should be no problem. Not sure on digital radios though.

I looked it up on tinternet and I think that dab rads don`t work, if I read it right, the UK uses one system and the rest of the world uses a different one ( nothing unusual there then) . Others might have a better idea but I think thats the case . I am sure I read on apost or article that uk phones don`t work either but not sure on that point

Hope it helps

Your digital cordless phone will probably work but it will also probably need to be reprogrammed to tell it it now lives in NZ. This is very common in phones bought in NZ as they are often made overseas so as a matter of course come with a code to set it to NZ frequencies etc. No idea if UK phones do though so you may have to start trawling the net…

We've brought over our Cable & Wireless cordless telephones. One base unit and two extensions. Standard BT plugs. Just plugged them in when we moved into our house. All functions work fine. No problems at all and no need to change telephone plugs.

We couldn't get one to work on the Isle of Wight, the place is a bit behind the rest of the world in numerous respects, so think you'll be completely fine here

Phones - definitely yes, although caller ID might not work
DAB radio - definitely no. There is no digital radio broadcast in NZ
