Can I take a UK landline phone and use it in France through French Telecom?

Question

I am about to buy a vintage phone, from the UK - it works with the BT (UK) phone system, I am moving to France, will I be able to take it with me and use it in the French Telecom system? If not, what do I have to do to convert it, do analogue phones work in France and is it worth buying a phone in the UK that has not already been converted to work with BT if I am going to have to get it converted again? thanks

Answer 1

Don't think so!! The plugs and connectors will be different and I think the French have tone dialling. You would have to change the lead on it.
