Hi All,

Please can someone advise if South African TVs and landline phones work in NZ. Seems to be conflicting info available, but most of the posts seem from UK members.

I have a Philips 74cm and a Telefunken 74cm TV (couple of years old), and am trying to decide whether to sell them and get a Plasma either here (SA) or once we get to NZ.

Any info greatly welcomed!

Cheers
Francoise

Actually for TVs, you can read the advice from the UK members see Another Television Question (http://www.emigratenz.org/forum/showpost.php?p=222350) for some details.

Hi Franscoise- we brought our Phillips TV 74 cm from South Africa - and after 5 months it lost its colour - it was only about 3 years old - so not sure if soemthing happened to it while it was coming across or what the problem was - so we have now bought a HD to replace it here. We didnt bring our landline so cant answer that for you - but cell phones have all been fine - infact had better reception than OH who has a NZ work phone!!!

Good luck with the move and if we can help just let us know.
