you can put the wires to your tounge if you want but I wouldn't suggest it. Ringing votage is 90-110 volts AC, dial tone is 48 volts DC. Red/green is the primary pair unless your phone company or whoever hooked the line up before was drunk or something. It doesn't matter which one goes where as long as you have the correct pair. Also if you have a short (the two wires touching each other) all your other phones in your house will not work either. Disconnect all the lines to your house at the outside box and hook them up one at a time make sure you use the correct pair. If you hook one up and it doesn't work use the black/yellow pair (just make sure you change it at both ends). If it still doesn't work replace the wire. It's as easy as that.
