Connect the standalone phone to the Livebox.

Question

Hello,  I am currently with ORANGE using a Livebox Play and my landline phone is independent, so it does not connect through the box. For cost reasons, I wish to switch to SOSH, and at that point, my phone line will go through the box. The problem is that my box is located far from my main phone. I made a sketch for a better understanding of the future connection I have planned (in red on the sketch).  I would like to know if what I have planned will work. Will connecting an RJ11 cable to the underside of a modular plug connected to its base send the 48V from the box to the 2 terminals on the upper left where the phones are connected, or is there a better solution? Then I suppose I need to remove all ADSL filters from all phones. I assume the ADSL filter should be kept on the Livebox, right?  Thank you in advance to anyone who can respond.

Hello,  In my opinion, we need to forget all that and move on to contemporary installations... You won't have any "telephone-type" connection on your line, with Sosh and its BOX... on these wires, there are only frequencies and you can't hear anything...  -- The solution is different... you need to buy a set of so-called "wireless" phones with two, three, or four handsets (duo, trio, quattro) here is an example https://www.cdiscount.com/telephonie/telephone-fixe/gigaset-telephone-fixe-as690-trio-blanc/f-14421-gig4250366854670.html#mpos=0|cd  -- You connect the BASE directly to the RJ11 socket of the BOX and the other two HANDSETS in the rooms of your choice and it will work, without any complications... The BASE transmits what it receives on the line or vice versa, to the handsets in the bedrooms or kitchen... just like at my place and many others...  There you go.

Hi, you will no longer need an ADSL filter either on the box or on the phones. With the box, you should have an RJ11/T female connector adapter delivered to connect a phone that does not have an RJ11 (rare today). RJ11 extensions can be found in almost all stores. What is the exact distance between the box and the phone? The box is located in the garage, I didn't quite understand your diagram? After that, it’s possible to route the phone from the box to the old sockets, but you need to be a bit handy. In any case, you must disconnect the grey/white pair that is between the incoming line and socket A at the level of your two arrows. PS, you will soon have fiber, I suppose, like everyone else.

Hello, Brupala I had indeed considered your much simpler solution, the only problem is that my current base which has a duo phone will be on the opposite side of the hallway from where it is now, the box is in an office far away from the current base and the base has an answering machine so I'll have to cross the house every time to see if I have a message, although it's not insurmountable I noted that the ADSL filter on the Livebox will be useless Let's see if there are phone handsets available to check if there is a message on the base's answering machine.

The answering machine will also be useless with this type of installation... The answering machine actually becomes "The voicemail" which is provided by the Sosh supplier... A light indicates that there is one or more messages and you have to dial a number to hear them from any handset...  So you have "DUO" equipment, a base and a handset... You can very well use your office line to connect your BASE. You just need to plug this line into the RJ11 output of the BOX using the adapter or by connecting to the white and gray wires...  and it should work normally.
