Just looking at a cordless home phone from Siemens.
Telecom has the SL375 but at double the price of buying from Australia.
Are there any compatibility issues buying overseas these days?

While Im there, Siemens website has the Gigaset SL785, which I'd like if there were no connection issues, so wondering about even further afield...

Couldn't get any info from Telecom, so thought Id ask where the brains are!
Thanks :thumbs:

Wouldn't have Telecom NZ's tick of approval either :eek:.

Cheers. :)
