Default UK DECT Phone - usage in North America?

Might be a dumb question ... but

I have shipped a few things over to the US with me, and I think that might include a Panasonic DECT phone from the UK (shipping hasn't arrived yet) and I don't know if it will (a) work in the US, and (b) if its even legal to use it here?? I know that US Phones and Radios shouldn't be used in the UK for example.

Any know anything about this?

Hello

The phones will work with an adaptor although answer phones tend to get a bit messed up (they appear not to be able to count the rings or something?).

I'm not sure whether they are legal though.

Thanks - I'll have to do some more digging I think, phones over here look very different to home, they all have huge handets with military style aerials :S

Hello

They don't all look like that! I just got back from Fry's and they had cool phones extremely cheaply.
