  1. Yellow Ringer Wire on 40 Years After Carterphone Ended AT&T Equipment Monopoly · · Score: 1

    I remember way back when we were renting our phones, that there was a 3rd yellow wire used to ring the phone, later only 2 wire were needed (red/green). The phone company was able to determine if you had added an illegal phone by measuring the ring current. So whenever I added another phone I would make sure not to connect the yellow ringer wire, or disconnect the ringer somehow. They never found out so it musta have worked. I have always had a phone in every room. At that time Phone Hacking was Real BIG.
