how to rewire home for a second phoneline? (pictures would be appreciated)?
Answers:
Most phone lines come available for a second line: Red Green Black Yellow. If you have an existing jack than utilize the two colors not used. You can then have phone company liven up that line (2 colors not used). You can splice int that line anywhere to utilize those colors to run offshoots. If you want a phone where there is no jack and you don't want to go wireless, then you must snake phone cable through walls or joists or rafters or run line outside to closest entry point to place you want jack or you can use wire mold and track it along walls if route and sight is not a problem How you run line depends on location, allowances, and knowledge of laws and regulations.As other answers have stated you must be specific if you want a specific answer. All other answers (including mine) are random "without specifics

all u need to do is buy a three way adapter and plug into your existing plugin ( wall outlet that your existing phone is on ) and then just plug your original phone line into the adapter and then run the second line in it also, from there you can run the second line where ever you want,,

Most home already come wired for two lines. Take the cover off of a telephone jack and see if it has 4 wires inside. If it does, your probably already wired.
Just buy some phone wire and jack. Pop the cap of your existing jack and match the 4 colors. Be careful not to short wires together.
The other answers are pretty acurate but you don't specify,,,same phone number? Just an additional line for another room, using the same phone number? OR do you want and additional line for an additional number?
The ease factor in doing extensions is something that will work, a second line for an additional number means a call to the phone company.
Have you considered cordless? A remote extension phone?
