[comp.dcom.modems] UK and US phone jack. Any difference?

I am posting this for someone. However he does read the newsgroup
comp.dcom.modems.

I am thinking of getting a modem from US. (It's so much cheaper than in
UK.) I was just wondering whether there is any difference between phone
jacks in US and UK. If so, is it just the shape of the connector
that's different, or difference in voltage specifications and stuff? 

It all boils down to whether/how I can use a US modem in UK?

Thanks in advance.

Delman Lee.
