    Take a cordless phone plugged into YOUR Line, go to Outside Phone box,
    You should have 4 places where wires connect, 2 are line 1, 2 are line 2.
    Red and green is usually line 1, yellow and black is usually line 2.
    With cordless, remove 2 wires so you don't lose dial tone, those would be the 2 that went to her room. Now connect those 2 wires to the 2 already connected.
    If wire colors are different, come back.
    Red and yellow tie together, as does green and black.
