It is one of the most common household appliances in the developed world, and has long been considered indispensable to business, industry and government. The word "telephone" has been adapted to many languages and is widely recognized around the world. The device operates principally by converting sound waves into electrical signals, and electrical signals into sound waves. Such signals when conveyed through telephone networks — and often converted to electronic and/or optical signals — enable nearly every telephone user to communicate with nearly every other worldwide. Graphic symbols used to designate telephone service or phone-related information in print, signage, and other media include ℡(U+2121), ☎(U+260E), ☏(U+260F), and ✆(U+2706). From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How do I wire two telephone handsets together with a 9v battery to ring out wires? Q. I have seen technicians with two telephone handsets each with alligator clips on them. The hook one telephone handset on a pair of wires and the other on the other end and can talk. A 9v battery is taped to one handset. I bought two payphone handsets thinking I could do the same thing but have not got it working. Are pay phone handsets different? Does anyone have a wiring diagram of the way to wire the battery into the handsets? Asked by twoskinsoneman - Tue Aug 4 06:16:03 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A.

I need to know how to install new ones. I know you can buy new jacks but how do you hook up the wires ? Asked by SUSAN B - Sun Aug 20 06:25:51 2006 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's not always so straight forward: Although you only need 2 wires, you often find that there are 4 wires in the box. Phone technicians usually use 4 wire cable by default, in case you want a second line, or one pair breaks. The trick is to find out which 2 you need (are "live"). A volt meter set at 50 or 100 VDC will do the trick, because your live phone line has a DC voltage across (depends on the country, anything between 24 and 60 Volt). Make sure you are not bare foot or touch a water pipe, although not lethal, touching a phone line and ground simultaneously gives you an unpleasant tingle, especially when someone calls you while you work!
