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?

Thanks.

sounds to me like the PO's of the house wired one line to the one room
that is currently working, and the rest of the house was wired only to
one of the other two lines. If you can find the point of connection
you should be able to just move wires around and make everything work
on one line. no need to call the phone co. in for an issue that
appears to be only inside your house. DAGS for "residential phone
wiring" and read a couple how-tos, you can do this.

good luck
