A relative of my wife's wishes to bring back such a phone to Israel with her. I know that there is an AC line voltage difference. But (a) are the phone systems compatible? (b) if so, is DTMF signalling accepted by the Israeli phone system? (c) is it legal to install customer-owned equipment in Israel; (d) what are the applicable laws and regulations about use of those frequency bands? Since she's leaving soon, a prompt answer would be appreciated. --Steve Bellovin
