is outdoor telephone wire any differant then indoor phone wire? can i use one for the other.?

Answer 1

Outdoor phone wire is thicker to protect it from the elements. Indoor wire will work, but it will not last. There are small companies that install telephones (and business phones) that would sell you what you need. Look in the phonebook under telephone or telecommunications. They especially sell business systems and also do residential. There should be a mom and pop shop.
