....I meant RJ-11. Too much 10*BaseT in my past.
Yes. There is another connector in the UK that is something like BT-6
(don't quote me on the number) that is their equivalent of our RJ-11. In
most phone stores, you can buy a converter because (fortunately for us)
modems, even over there, only support RJ-11 (so some store know them as
modem adapters).
This, of course, presumes that you can find a hotel with plugs. Many hotels
are older and have hard wired connections.
Also note: many hotels have only dial phones, so take your cell phone if
you're planning to fetch voice mail... not for its usability to make calls
(they have a different system), but rather to generate the tones into the
hotel phone mouthpiece to make your VM system (over here) respond.
