The new meter has a box connected to it, with a line running to our (nearby - just 6 feet above the meter) telephone service terminator (whatever it's supposed to be called - the box on the outside of the house except that ours is inside). I have no idea how it works, but the phone does not ring, nor are we charged for a call (could be local).
