ABSTRACT:
A telephone subscriber module allows a telephone subscriber to selectively interconnect a subscriber telephone line with one of a plurality of available telephone service provider lines. A base has a first jack configured to receive a plug connected to a subscriber telephone line. A second jack, electrically connected to the first jack, is configured to receive a plug connected to a selected one of a plurality of telephone service provider lines to thereby establish an electrical communication connection between the subscriber telephone line and the selected telephone service provider line. The first jack may include a pair of electrical conductors extending outwardly therefrom and terminating in a plug. The plug may be configured to be inserted within a jack adjacent to or remotely located from the first jack to establish an electrical communication connection between a service provider line electrically connected thereto and the subscriber line. A test device may be connected to the first jack for determining whether a fault exists within a selected one of the plurality of service provider lines.
