i have 4 separate lines, each with its own jack, the phone has 4 hose.. can I just plug the lines directly, each in a hole?!

Actually you will have to combine line 1&2 together. 3&4 also with a splitter

> My daughter accidently plugged the usb cable into the phone line Huh? There's no way to force either of those 2 VERY different connector-types into the wrong jack. Send me a picture of ANY USB cable ever plugged into any phone line jack.

you know, i'm actually not sure. i'm thinking no, because the line connection is for a handset plug in, and i think the connection for the actual phone, which is what you have, is different, i think a little larger size. but, maybe. i'll try it when i get a minute, but that won't help you. too bad, as it works pretty well for incoming calls. try it; maybe it'll work. or you could get a slightly different phone to avail yourself of this nice volume improvement. happy holidays!

You only need one per phone line. If you have 4 phones, but they all share the same number, then all you need is one.

I have a 2 line phone with only one line plugged in to the phone. I put the switchin the line before it goes into the phone. the switch works exactly as it should.

I think it can. Instead of plugging the telephone line directly in to your phone, you connect first to this and from this to your telephone. So I don't see why it wouldn't work.

This is a splitter for a single telephone line where you can use two devices. If you connect two more splitters and connect them to the original splitter, you could then use four devices on one phone line.

NO! This is not like a phone splitter. Network cables have 8 wires in them but only 4 are used (and that means at both ends). This was done to plan for unknown network needs of the future. This does not allow you to share a network connection with two devices, it basically allows you to use the extra 4 wires. The problem is that the other end of the cable needs one to in order to use those same 4 wires. You need TWO of these to make a single cable work. I hope that makes sense...

You can install in next to any one of the phones. The limitation is that if you want the device to keep even the first ring from reaching the phone, then the phone must be plugged into the call blocker. Phones which are not plugged directly into the call blocker will ring until the call blocker picks up (if it is a blocked number). The call blocker will then hang up on the blocked caller. If you wanted to stop all phones from ringing the first ring, you would have to have all the phones connected to the call blocker. This could be done, but would require modifying the normal telephone wiring installation. You can install in next to any one of the phones.

Based on what I know after installing to my whole house phone wiring, I would have to say "NO". There would have to be two phone out connections and each would have to be dedicated in order for a two line system to work.

You can get a jack adapter, that you can plug in two lines, at Radio Shack if you need too, but the answer is yes, you have to plug the phones to work.

No. You just need to pick up more of the splitter boxes that came with the system. You can connect 4 more phones to each splitter box.

No, a standard phone jack uses 2-4 wires. An ethernet connection uses all 8.

It can run 4 services over 1 device by sharing. It allows each of these services to ring through the same phone. To call out, you actually use a specific dial code to tell the OBi200 which service you want to use to make the call. If you want 4 lines, you'll need to get a 4 port adapter like the OBi504vs although it's probably overkill for a small setup. You can also just buy 4 OBi100 devices and connect one to each phone. Lastly, OBITalk makes VOiP phones that support multiple lines like the OBi1032 and the OBi1062. If you go with one of these phones, you can skip buying any of the OBi adapters altogether.

Actually, you can disconnect the outside phone line from your local carrier and simply plug the SPA112 line directly into any wall jack and run EVERY analogue phone in your home off of it. You could even use a two line splitter at each end and run both lines through your house wiring as desired so long as the house wiring has two lines to each jack.

Search the following at Amazon "X16 Small Office Phone System-4 Port Network Connector (XB1698-XB)". This is what you need to expand the sytem to 16 phones. You can plug four phones into each of these (even though there are five jacks I was told you can only use four of them). I tried to paste a picture of these but it would not let me. RMcCue@harsco.com

The Answer to this question is.....DEPENDS.....did you run a telephone cable to the other rooms? If yes, then the answer is Yes. If no, then the answer is no.It handle up to 4 incoming lines then you may distribute as you see fit using the other 6 ports.
