Hello. I am installing a phone socket onto my ntl line because my old one, having been installed very poorly, has fallen off.

I have brought a socket but the wires are different colours to the ones on my ntl line.

The terminal on the inside of the socket looks like this:

Connection 1 - - Connection 4
Connection 2 - - Connection 5
Connection 3 - - Connection 6

The instructions are:
White goes into 2
Red goes into 3
Orange goes into 4
Blue goes into 5

But, I only have these wires coming out of my phone line:

An orange wire with white patches
A white wire with orange patches
A white wire with blue patches
A blue wire with white patches

Can anyone translate them? And if so, does anybody know which one(s) carry the electricity to the phone?

Hope you can interpret my diagram. Thanks.
