Telephone points

[schoe]

Had virgin media install an new phone line today, they placed one master socket behind my tv and now my existing Bt phone and slave sockets don't work throughout the rest of the house. To get my other existing phone points to work do I just have to run a cable from my virgin master socket to the existing slave sockets and connect the appropriate wiring up ,

Thanks in advance

Also using an ADSL microfilter can generate a ring on old phones where only 2 and 5 are connected at the phone point.

Since the introduction of digital exchanges there is no need to connect terminal 3. On installations where ADSL / vDSL broadband is used it is advisable to disconnect terminal 3 as this is known to cause interference and lower data speed.

i always connect number 3..but im not specialist on the telephone system..as i know its that what i write on my previous reply and always i do that..

You will have to explain this a bit more as I'm not aware of any issues

very easy mate..its like a electrical radial circuit..how do you connect 5 sockets on the radial ???..very simple..

Just posting to agree with Daz.
3 is not needed nowadays with modern phones.
Omitting 3 can also improve ADSL line speeds (apparently).
