I thought of that too. The wall jack is repairable, and it's a homeowner fix, but most people are too hands off to dare try it.
Most hardware stores, Home Depot, and Lowes have what you need, other than gumption, or duct tape.
By the way, the wires are really tiny. I can use my fingernails as wire-strippers.
Yes. Phone wiring has always been a model of simplicity, even when the phone company moved to those clip-in connectors.
And there’s not enough voltage in there to hurt a fly.
I’ve done phone jack switches before but it was a very long time ago and I want to make sure I still know how. Therefore, I’ll watch a refresher video and be ready to fix it after a while. Like a month or two.
This one has had the “snap gazinta” removed, somehow, and there is nothing to hold the business end of the phone cord.
