Little kids like to jam things into phone jacks that are either conductive or bend the pins together. DAMHIK
I've had corrosion grow in a jack that was resistive enough to make an obi go "off hook" took me awhile to find it but I had to replace that wall jack.

Thank you so much everyone, especially Steve who provided excellent information.  Unfortunately, I was not able to short the probes to zero.  May be because it is a cheap Cen-Tech 7 Function digital multimeter, model #90899.  I did let the reading run down to single digits before measuring the resistance.  I tested several times on two jacks and they both read I (one?  I?).   I think it is infinite.  I did do some experiments.  Please see the link below.  Since this issue does not fit the title.   I started the following topic.  Hope it will benefit others who search for the problem, because there is a wealth of information here.
