How do I wire/install a BT phone socket?

Question

We have the wire for the phone line coming into the house and a double phone socket (the white box) but they are not connected!

Does anyone know how to wire them together or have any links to diagrams on how to do this? I can only find diagrams for extension sockets which this isn't as it would be the only one in the house. Please bear in mind that I'm not an electrician, though the BT man I spoke to said that it shouldn't be a problem and is fairly easy!

To do this would cost £125 with BT and our landlord will not pay or help!

Answer 1

Save yourself the money and wire it yourself. There are really only two wires you should be concerned with, the red and green (with typical home wiring). You don't have to worry about being shocked or anything.

Here's a link that may help you:
