Canadian telephone

Will a Canadian telephone work on the US system?



I think there compatible aren'y they?....can't remember.


If you are talking about a simple analog phone for POTS line then the answer is "yes", it will work in US. If you are talking about a (digital) feature phone by a Canadian manufacturer, such as Nortel, then the answer is "no", it will not work with a phone system by a US (or another Canadian to than matter) manufacturer, such as Avaya.

If you can give more information about the phone and the system, we'll be able to help you better. Also, I thought it's worth mentioning that there is a Usenet group, dedicated to telephony, which is where you want to post your messages about phones: comp.dcom.telecom.tech We keep its archive and Web interface here:
