Seek guidance from someone familiar with landline setups. After Hurricane Flo affected North Carolina, I installed wiring for my church to provide phone and internet during repairs. I ran two separate lines for internet and phone. Can a splitter handle two phones at once, or will I need another connection? Also, these desk phones can route calls to different numbers—like sending someone to another office. There’s also a concern about toxic mold in the main office that might affect health.

You can use a divider to combine the same message. Based on your device, you might be able to send it, but it would occupy the line even when active. You could pause the call and connect back to the same shared number.

Based on my understanding, dividing a Cat3 cable into separate connections for two phones prevents them from sharing the same link at once. This means each device would operate independently without interference. However, this setup could be exploited in certain scenarios, such as a man-in-the-middle attack or easy drop, requiring the cables to be routed back to the distribution point where calls are redirected between lines.
