In my bedroom i have a phonejack. THe phonejack is for my first line. I want to know how to add the second line to the phonejack so i can have access to both the first and second lines. Anyone know how to do this?

I think it depends how the building was wired. Before we got DSL, we thought about getting a second line, but they'd have to rewire our entire old house.

Yeah, you'd have to bring in a completely seperate line into the back bedroom. It's fairly easy actually, but the rewiring the house is a b!tch! Good luck!

The lines running through my house have two pairs (four total) wires in them. I believe this is fairly standard. If you remove the jack from the wall and look at the cabling you should be able to tell for sure. If your lines do indeed have two pairs, then the unused pair is most likely what your second line is running on (unless somebody ran all new wires for your second line).

If this is the case, then to add the second line you need to first get a jack that has two connectors on it. Strip the ends of the wires in the cabling, and wrap them clockwise around the screws in the jack (make sure you get the right wires paired with each other). Wrap clockwise because you turn a screw clockwise to tighten it. Wrapping counter-clockwise would cause your wrappings to loosen as you tighten the screw.

The standard for the pairing colors MIGHT be red with green, and yellow with black, though don't trust that blindly, as it is totally from my memory of working on my phone jacks about a year and a half ago.

VBboy, that will give him 2 phones on one line instead of the vice versa.
