Default Connecting Astral Royal Albert phone in Europe

Hello,
I have a collection of Royal Albert porcelaine and one of the pieces is a UK vintage dial phone. It is in reality a replica of a dial phone with push buttons.
My project is to connect it and make it functional. The phone line wire has one end connected to the phone without a standard connector while the other end is an RJ11 plug.
At home in Greece, I have a DSL line with a splitter (internet/phone) so I connected the RJ-11 plug to the telephone marked socket of the splitter and here is the outcome:
For incoming calls it doesn't ring but once you pick it up it works as expected.
For outgoing calls it calls the number but nothing is heard once the call is picked up by either of the parties.
Does anyone have any clue of what could be the issue? Does the wiring need some kind of re-arrangement for it to work outside the UK?
