Vonage There are two problems here.

There are two problems here.
First, some jackwad connected a zillion wires to two terminals on your phone box. Bad, bad, bad. Screw terminals should never have that many wires attached to them, but telco installers do it all the time.
Each pair of those wires goes to a different jack in your home.
Second, you apparently disconnected all the wires without tying them all together. If you just disconnected them, there no longer is any continuity between all the jacks in your house.
So no wonder you only get service at one or two jacks! Those are the one or two pairs that are still connected together by accident.
Go back outside and take the wad of RED wires and tie them together with some sort of electrical connector. Do the same for the wad of GREEN wires as well.
The problem is, with such a large wad of wires, chances are, one or two are not going to make contact, particularly if you use one of those yellow twisty connectors that is a refugee from a ceiling fan install kit. So check your connections carefully.
