Yes you can, as I have a Cincinnati Bell Line for Business and a Vonage line for home.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING when using your house wiring is MAKE SURE the wires that are connected to your Vonage ATA (the Vonage Deivce) are TOTALLY disconnected from any incoming phone wires (from the phone company). Voltages that MAY be present WILL damage our Vonage ATA.
If using the second pair of wires that are already wired in the phone jacks, you will need a Two Line Adapter for the phone that uses the Black and Yellow pair in your house phone cable (if your house has a 2 pair cable) - otherwise check the phone company's box and a jack in the house to see how it is wired - These adapters give you separate jacks for two lines. the third position has both lines wired for a two line telephone (see below)
Then simply use one of these splitters to plug your Vonage ATA device in to (I am assuming the 2nd line) which will energize the 2nd line throughout the house. (NOTE: I would tape over the other line connections at the Vonage ATA location to eliminate errors of plugging in to the wrong connection in the future.) Then use a splitter at each Vonage phone location.
The other option is to use the primary (1st line) for the Vonage connection and make sure AT&T wires to the 2nd line and use a splitter at those AT&T phone locations. But it sounds as though AT&T already has the primary (1st line) wires. You could change those yourself, or use Vonage as above on the 2nd pair of wires.
One extra hint. It is best to use a 2 wire phone cable from your Vonage ATA to the house wiring to add extra safety in not putting any voltage in to your Vonage ATA. You can identify a 2 wire vs a 4 wire cable at the clear connector plug.
Also, check out the do it yourself guide at http://www.vonage.com/support.php?article=649&category=3
For house cables that use more than 2 pair of wires, see http://www.homephonewiring.com/clr-code.html
