Difference in rechargeable batteries - safe to use?

My house broke recently, I found an old digital phone to replace it temporarily but the batteries didn't hold much of a charge.
The old phone had the original rechargeable batteries in - 700 mAh, NiCd 1.2v and I have replaced them with some rechargeables I had in the house - 2100 mAh, Ni-MH-Accu 1.2 volt.
Is it safe to use batteries with a higher mAh, and different 'Ni' code?

Yes - they will last much longer and don't mind being charged before they are flat , unlike ni-cad0

Are you recharging the batteries with a separate charger, or do they get recharged in the phone itself? If the latter then you may have problems as ideally you're not supposed to charge NiMH's in a NiCd charger.
