[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 936657, member: 199791"] If you look in the RJ11 socket on the phone's base, does it have 2 pins or 4 pins (or just two outer pins)? If the latter, then BT could have been quite lazy and set the A & B pair as the two outer pins requiring the BT-RJ11 cable to be 4-wire, but only the two outers used, I vaguely recall this being the case in my BT Studio DECT phone and my solution was to crack open the base and physically move the two outer pins to the middle to conform to standard RJ11 telephone wiring, and it works fine with any ol' 2-wire RJ11 now (well, when I don't misplace the handset!!), can't think of anything else that could be up with it, it's just two wires for any automatic telephone system regardless of country... :) [/QUOTE]
