Recently bought house. Phone jacks in almost every room.
Ordered new connection from Verizon. Works only in one room.
They say previous owners had atleast 3 lines. They had it wired that
way.
Asking for 95 for first line, and about 50 for each additional line to
rewire!!!!

Anybody else encountered this before?
Any solution / work around except wiring myself from inside using one-
to-many jacks
available in stores?

What did Verizon connect to? Did they install a new jack that you are
connected to? There may be another connection for the existing wiring so
that all the connections work.

If you can find a local phone service, you can probably get it done much
cheaper than the phone company. In my case, thee is a guy that is retired
from the phone company that does that sort of thing part time.

It is possible hte last owner had a cable connection too and negated the
existing wiring tot he outside box.
