    Are you saying the wiring in your house consists of 4 wires, which are white, green, orange, and black? What country are you in? For the US I would expect that you have either red/green/yellow/black (all solid colors) or one pair that is white-blue and a second white-orange.

    I have seen phones jacks wired with thermostat wiring. Doesn't sound like phone wires.
    Keep same colors as on jacks. Reidentify as red/green/yellow/black.
    Red and green are line 1, yellow and black is line 2.
    I would convert your wires:
    White to yellow
    Green to stay green
    Orange will be red
    Black will stay black.
    Connecting category rated wiring will be:
    White/blue to green +
    Blue/white to red -
    White/orange black +
    And orange/white to yellow -.
