Nichthewood Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Can anyone tell me were i can buy a BT-French telecom phone adapter please.I know there is a difference in the wiring 2 wires to 3 wires, but someone must have made an adapter.

Deimos Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I assume you mean UK telephone to French wall socket, in which case you can get them all over the place. Not sure where I got mine, but I don’t use it any more. Some UK telephones will work fully in France through an adapter, others wont. Mine was one of those in the “wont” group (it was a BT phone). It worked pretty well OK except it would not ring (which was not terribly convenient.Apparently this is not uncommon – some phones fine, others not and its not related to the adapter but the telephone. My impression is that it is not worth bothering unless you have a particularly expensive flashy UK telephone.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikejac Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I received the following information from a company called Solwise in the UK. Haven't tried it out yet as I don't move to France until next Spring.You can use normally UK telephones that have the BT connector on the end of the cable. You would need a French Telephone Adaptor (on our web page: http://www.solwise.co.uk/telesun.htm - stock code ADAP-FRANCE at £2.33) but you also need Telephone Adapter / RJP/BTS - with ring capacitor (RJ11) at £2.22 - on the same web site page - this adaptors converts you BT plug into an RJ11 which fits into the French adaptor and enables the telephone device to ring.Mikejac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
