  • To install a phone jack, you will need a phone jack, a screwdriver, and an electrical outlet.First, turn off the power to the electrical outlet where you will be installing the phone jack.Next, use the screwdriver to remove the faceplate from the electrical outlet. Then use the screwdriver to remove one of the screws that hold on the cover of the electrical box.Now take a look inside and identify which two wires are connected to the copper screws. One wire will be connected to a brass screw and one wire will be connected to a silver screw. Remove these two wires from their respective screws and twist each wire around one of the screws on your new phone jack.
