no probs halcyon, the problem as far as I can see it is the wire feeding your phone connected to your second phoneline is hardwired to the master socket, therefore making it an not only against NTL T&C's but also against the law, however, any extension wiring that terminates in a plug at your master socket is ok.

So the second part of your plan, putting a plug on the cable is ok, it''s the first part, removing the cable from the socket that's going to cause problems. You could just snip the cable, however if in the process you cause problems to the NTL network further up the line, you could be billed for any problems that you've caused.

I think the dual DECT handset idea is great, i've got a set, two phones, one base, and a dumb charger module for the 2nd handset.
