Yes. They work fine. Remember that the power transformer cube will be a 120V one but you'll either need to devote a step-down transformer (one of the 100W ones that puts out a sine wave, not the solid-state ones) or buy a 220V -> whatever voltage the answering machine needs. (Probably be easier to buy it over there or in Europe.) Remember that almost no phones in Israel have Touch-Tone (tm), though. So, don't expect to be able to use beeperless remote unless you buy a small DTMF pad at Radio Shack (which is exactly what I did) and bring it with you.
