Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I've tried googling and got no where.

Does anyone know if a UK cordless phone will work in Azerbaijan?

I don't want to use precious suitcase space for it if it won't.

Thanks, groupites!

J.S. Egan (jsegan) | 104 comments My Googling suggests unlikely, unless you are staying somewhere very modern and luxurious.

I betcha Elle can sort it. :)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Do you know the authors proper name? & what book?

No he didn't. ;) I already know about the power there. It's same as here, maybe a different plug but I've been told our flat has both azer and UK style outlets. I've bought adapters as well, just in case.

The flat is meant to be very modern, JS. The phone worked in Nigeria.

I'm wondering if the phone signal would be the same?

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments AHA. Now I feel victorious over smug bastard. he uses the site for all his travels apparently. seems like a pretty decent site all the same even if it wasn't handy for this.

Yes, Louise-Lesley. It's Jackie Tritt and the title is The Burning. (We were both, at one time, published by the l..."



Ye I figured that out when I actually bothered to look properly, lol. it's fixed now :)

And that means what, exactly?

Remember you're talking to a total non-geek here! ;)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Lol it's like 3G but.. better.

And yep it does,

'On 20 May 2012, Azerbaijan's biggest mobile operator Azercell launched 4G [LTE].[62]'


UK hasn't quite got it yet. Some big balloo over the new iPad because they advertised it as 4G in Oz and it doesn't have it yet either so they had to give a pile of refunds.

J.S. Egan (jsegan) | 104 comments We are talking about a cordless land-line phone here, right? Not a cellphone or mobile phone?


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Yep, cordless landline.

The company provides the phone line and I'm sure there's already a phone in the flat. I just really dislike not being able to wander while I gab.

Oh cool. Is my new shiny 4G as well as 3G, I wonder?


message 15: by J.S. (new)

J.S. Egan (jsegan) | 104 comments If it is a modern flat, then it will probably have an RJ11 connector, which is the small connector which most of the world uses as standard and which is probably what you were using in Nigeria.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Okay, brilliant. Thank you so much, JS!

I'll pack it then. :)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Plus the shops seem to sell the exact same phones.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh. Right.

I didn't think for a minute to check that! You're clever, Peanut!

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Hahaha, yes you are! I was all beans it had it's own google. I do love a good random fact.


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments Well Peanut, I now feel superfluous. I defer to your geekdom.

Me too Geoff but they haven't told Patti about the problems with reverse feedback polarity and I think we should let her find out for herself now.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments You what now, Simon?


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments Ah, they always find out too late, Simon.
