telephone Master Soccket

[Munroast]

this was where our copper telephone cable entered the house and connected the rest of the wall-sockets throughout the house - the cable coming out of the front went to my router
Just been connected to fibre this morning and have lost all of our telephone outlets, our telephone now has to be plugged into the back of the router!

if I ran a male to male cable from the router to this outlet, would it connect up the rest of the house ?

(we have two telehones and never use both at same time) having a telehone next to the router is no good for us, won't hear it) elderly parent who will only ever use land line

Easier just to buy a couple of cordless phones. Very cheap nowadays. Doubt it will do what you suggest but I'm not familiar with fiber operation

The plug in your picture needs to be into the router dedicated phone socket.
Nothing connected to the BT socket will work now that you have fibre

I've tried what you proposed and it didn't work?
I've got on my long list a project to get my internal house wiring back live again as our phone is in a cupboard with the WiFi router.
I'm going to try this way although mine is easier as all in a hall cupboard.
If you get it going can you update thread.

No.

If that cable plugged into the socket is what connects to the other sockets, then plug that into the router,

If not, then they will be wired to the back of the lower half of that socket. Remove the two screws, pull the lower half away, and there should be wiring connected to that.
That wiring would need to be connected to a cable with a plug on the end, so it can be plugged into the router.

Also note that when the internet breaks or there is a power cut, there will be no phone service.
Most people don't bother with 'landline' phones any more.

No.

A lot of older people don't bother with mobile phones

This is the method I used to reactivate the phone on my BT so let's after VOIP changeover.
Still working now.

Thread 'How to connect Phones and Alarms when BT phone service changes to Digital Voice'

11 Sep 2021

After implementation of Digital Voice, how to make all phones and alarms on other sockets work again.

After BT's implimentation of Digital Voice my BT connected phones and alarm no longer works. Following is my solution to reconnect them to the 'phone' output of my router.


What you need:
-Screwdriver to access BT Master Socket
-Electrical Insulation tape
-Phone 2 way adapter https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=phone+2+way+adapter
-BT Phone extension cable that has a BT Plug on both ends...
