Moving a phone connection?

Question

I want to move a phone connection for my Dad from an inside wall to an outside wall. He bought a new refrigerator and he can't get his hand in to dial a number but can only answer the phone. I just want to move it to the opposite wall in his apartment. Is this difficult to do? What tools and parts would I need to do this? Thank you so much.

Answer 1

The easiest and cheapest way would be to use a phone extension cord and route it to a more convenient location. You can get them in several lengths going up to several feet long.

Answer 2

It is not a difficult thing to do, but before doing any work on the walls I'd check with the landlord. Most landlords don't appreciate people cutting on walls without authorization.
