There are differences in the wiring that might prevent the phone ringing, for example.

There's a section on foreign phones that will highlight the differences between the two systems (and how to approach it) at the bottom of this page.

Yes, it's technical, but I've not gone into it in detail myself, so I can't provide an executive summary, I'm afraid. I think I picked this up at some point when I was figuring out why we were getting problems despite using adaptors.

Good luck.

I use 2 ex-UK telephones no problem. You will need a new cable available from lots of places, if you have an old modem cable use that. One end in the wall and the other into the phone.
