I'm heading back to UK shortly and would like to know about whether a land line phone bought here in Thailand will work at home in UK.

I have found a really good Panasonic wireless hand set running on 2.4 Ghz range which seems OK for UK but I'm concerned about the wiring and whether it will work over there. I have a base unit and a second unit but wish to buy a third so I cover my house but don't want to throw money at it if it won't work.

Any info appreciated.

Probably fine except all callers will be immediately translated to thai.

Seriously there would not seem to be any problems except that the phones would not have British approval so potentially the network could sue you. They would be no problem though.

I tried it the other way round.

I brought over a cordless landline phone over from the UK to Thailand.

It didn`t work.

Something to do with the fregrencies and ren rates.

More likely the wiring.

The UK jack is not a 1-to-1 connection with the Thai one.

UK phones also often require the components (a 470k resistor and 1.8uF capacitor) in a 'master' socket to make them ring properly (outgoing calls OK though).
