On the wiring box you should see a small access screw. Loosen this screw to open the box. Inside of the box you will see a standard telephone jack with a small telephone cable plugged into it. Unplug this cable to disconnect the telephone companies signal from your home. If you have a multiple line phone wiring you may need to disconnect multiple connectors.
