    Its pretty much trial and error. Hook a phone up to the socket, lift the receiver off the hook and then touch each pair of wires from the cable in the wall to the black and red wires from the socket. When you hear a dial tone, you've got the right ones.

    Is this an extension you are adding, or are you trying to fit a master socket? If it's the master socket, then get eircom to do it, this is why you pay line rental.

    If doing an extension, I'm pretty sure it's the orange/white and white/orange pair they use.
