I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure it will work ... while I didn't
quite have my own phone line when I was there last year, many of my
friends brought phones (and answering machines, and all sorts of other
things) with them, and didn't have much problem.

You will need a converter for the power, of course, and a little gizmo
to bridge the phone connectors ... if memory serves correctly the box
just connects the wires (perhaps with some impedance matching) and is
very easily available there.

Be careful about the import duties on electronics, however.
