Due to static on my phone I decided to replace my (twenty year old) telephone baseline and the even older jack. I've run the new line, connected the red and green lines to the red and green screws inside the new jack and also connected the red and green lines to the screws on the box outside. It looks just like the old line except now the line doesn't work at all. The test jack inside the box works fine. Does anyone know what I might have done wrong? I am at a loss and the phone company won't check it without charging me a huge fee.
