How do I wire a new phone jack ...
By Chstterbox on Feb 12, 2008
Telephone co says my jack needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, I can find the exact same wall jack plate. (probably too old)
Coming out of the wall is a cord that has 1-red wire and 1-green wire. The second cord coming out of the wall is the same. So I've got 2-red and 2-green wires = 4 total.
The old wall plate jack has like metal slots for the wires. Only new ones I can find all have screws.
What do I do?

- ok Did that and got a dial tone but so much static I cant hear the calling party. One time it even sounded like someone else was on the line pushing a button. Just a few minutes later I have NO dial tone again but, when I call the number from my cell the phone rings. I answer it and can hear it ringing. Any suggestions?Thank You!

The new jack should have the same color code as the wires.
All the red's go together on one screw, and the green's as well.

From the sound of the "new" problem, you may have TWO DIFFERENT phone lines hooked together.
Or, it could just be an extra pair, to another jack in your house somewhere (have you looked for another one?).
Try connecting just ONE PAIR (red & green, also known as Tip & Ring) to your jack, and then call your number with your cell phone.
If it doesn't work, try disconnecting that pair, and connecting the other pair, and call yourself again.
Also, if you reverse tip & ring (red & green), your phone may not break dial tone, if thats the case, just reverse the pair, and you should be good to go.
Please let us know if you get it working.
Did you strip ALL of the insulation OFF of the wires you connected?
Just one small piece will interfere with your connection and cause static.
But don't strip off too much insulation, the wires still need to be covered right up to the connection, to prevent short circuits (which, if intermittent, can also cause static).
And all screw connections need to be tight, or static will occur.
