Hey folks,
I just bought a reconditioned 1970's phone here in the UK (which is fully compatible with the current BT phone systems).
I'm aware that I can purchase the necessary adapters as to allow me to physically connect the phone to an Australian socket, however, I'm unsure if I'll encounter any further problems (for example, frequency issues). Is it as easy as it looks to connect the British phone to an Australian line (and have it work)?
If anybody has any idea, it would be hugely helpful.
Cheers. |

| A common problem is encountered when taking a UK phones overseas - it won't ring. This is because most overseas countries use a 2 wire system and the UK 3rd wire for the ring signal is absent. The simplest way of getting around this is to ensure you take a BT MASTER (not slave) socket with you when you go. Connect the 2 wires on the foreign system to connections 2 and 5 of the BT Master socket and plug the phone in. It should now ring. |

| Thanks felix. I'm pretty sure I've got all the necessary conversion equipment. It's more the frequencies I'm worried about. |

| The phones we have here are pretty simple, just make sure the string on the tins cans is tightly drawn. |
