Electrical Question from Timothy about Telephone Wiring
Background: Timothy , a Homeowner from Mahwah, NJ 07430
Question: Is it possible to convert coaxial outlet into a phone outlet? And if so, who would I call to install it, the phone company? Could I do it myself? How would I go about doing it? Thanks,
