[General] VoIP For Home Usage

Interesting, I checked the wall socket, there are 2 gray wires each of
them having 4 colored wires, and only 2 colored wires of each gray wires
are connected to the socket (2 red wires to the right, 2 blue wires to
the left) 4 other wires are not connected. 2 in each gray wires. I'm not
familiar with wiring. Now do I have to connect the others? IIRC the
others are not used/utilized.
