    Hi ap1986
    if this socket is the main phone socket provided to the customer by eircom she should give 1901 a call and report faulty socket, without knowing what the dad did here I cannot really advise. If your friend wishes to contact us we may be able to report fault for here, but she should try 1901 first.
    Hope this helps

    Hi Ap1986 can you post up a picture of the socket and cables.
    A phone line only uses 1 pair , so its not as complicated as you might think.
    Also do you have access to a multi meter ?
