How connect two phone lines?

Question

I have two lines at home super cheap international rate in land-line #1 and a standard land-line #2.

I want to call land-line #2 using my cellular when I am out home, then call overseas using land-line #1.

I was thinking connect the two lines to a computer, receive the call and then be able to call using tones on the other line.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

i am having a hard time finding a link for you on yahoo and google as it appears most of the results for "phone diverter" relate to skype devices...

you just need to install a call diverter inbetween the 2 lines, you call in from #2 into the diverter, enter a pin number, then are given the dial tone for line #1 to make outgoing calls...

Answer 2

Answer 3

The easiest way would be to connect them with regular jacks with 2 conductor wire between the 2 phones. At one of the jacks, connect a 6v lantern battery to the 2 wires connecting the phones. You can talk, but can't make them ring.

Answer 4

Counting incoming and outgoing lines (phone numbers), are there only two lines at the location? If so, you can probably use dial-up. If there are more than two lines, you out of luck
