Summary: ATT trimlines now come with two wire cords.


OOPS.  Forgot to quote the last guy.

Well, the gist of his posting was: All phones use four wire cords that
go from the wall to your phone.

But phones really only need two wires (more if you use the "old style"
lighted dials, or if you have one of the old party lines).  When we
went to the ATT Phone Center, we bought a ATT trimline that had a TWO
wire cable.

It makes sense to have all four wire "just in case".  What if you have
one of the old Bell-style party lines?  They need three wires.
