Redecorating the bedroom, took off the extension phone socket,
and the wires have now broken off. Ive got wires coloured
blue, orange, white and grey, and connectors one to six available.
Can anyone tell me which wires go where?
TIA,

Find the other end of the cable and see which terminals they are in the
other end.

The top item on this page should give you a good idea. Beware though
that the colours may not be the same as yours, that doesn't matter!

Hmm. Not standard BT colours. You'll need to see what the connections are
at the other end.

try this
connector 1 = nothing
connector 2 = blue
connector 3 = orange
connector 4 = either white or grey
connector 5 = either grey or white
connector 6 = nothing
well its a start, as it should be
1 = nothing
2 = blue/white
3 = orange/white
4 = white/orange
5 = white/blue
6 = nothing
Regards

Thanks for all the replies. I was stumped for a while because
the wires that arrived in the bedroom weren't the colours that
left the hall, so there's a join somewhere under the stairs.
In the end I permed any two from four on connectors
two and five until I got dial tone, and tried the other two
on connector three until I got ring tone.
Thanks again!

You could have found out the main pair with a volt meter - they have DC on
them. The positive goes to 2, and the negative to 5.

Well done, that's the way a lot of engineers would have sussed that one
too.
