How to disconnect input telephone wires

(1/3) > >>

Hi,

I finally managed to port my landline number to Google voice.  If I plug my OBI phone jack into my wall phone jack, I got some busy tone.  My previous teleco refused to do anything for me to disconnect the wires.  I am in an apartment and don't have access to the outside wiring.

The landline was a digital line.  There a board in my closet, which all the voice cable connects to.  The input line has 4 pairs, labeled PR1 to PR4.  I connected the blue wire on PR1 and now OBI works with the wall jack, except there is a static background.

Do I need to disconnect all the wires?  There is no socket for the wires and they went through some narrow clips and it's quite hard to pull (I think it's called 110 connector and I don't have the tools).  So if there is just a couple that I need to pull, that will be great.

Thanks

The narrow clips are probably bridge clips. Yes they pull off. They bridge the telco side of the 110 to the customer side of the circuits.

Once you pull the clips off, telco should be disconnected. You can test that with a phone plugged into a regular wall jack. You should no longer hear a dialtone, static or even the sidetone (the echo and noise when you blow into the mouthpiece.

This is a 66 block with bridge clips



I think the 110 block is just used for interconnect and the 66 is used to bridge and be able to break

If taking off the bridge clips will solve the problem, you just need some needle nose pliers
Please take a pic of your connections and post for the most accurate response

I'm almost sure it's 110 block.  The block is soldered to the board so I can't take the whole thing.

Do I need to pull off all the wires?  I pulled off blue PR1 and now I can use the phone, except with some static noise in the background.

can you post a photo?
