Hi all, wondered if anyone can help with very old telephone wiring.
Please bear with me, my brother has an old dial type phone and does not always work so we brought him a new phone which has a normal phone plug. The problem is his old phone is hard wired to a junction box with no socket. His wiring is as follows: Bt 2 wire (black and orange) incoming straight into junction box (no master socket) and phone 4 wires (white-green-black-red)wired from this. Bt want £128 to fit a master socket, which I think for a old guy very expensive, and he cannot afford this. So my question is: Can I remove the old phone wiring and fit an extension with socket to the junction box to use the new phone, and will a digital work without master socket? Any help would be appreciated, thanks Trevor
