@cooldude666 I'm not sure that a modem cable is wired the same way as a phone cable. Are you in the UK?

@cooldude666 a previous post indicates that both the UK and Italia ports are active at the same time, so it does look like the cable is the issue. A standard UK phone should terminate in a BT connector which would fit the UK port. What make and model phone do you have?

@cooldude666 were you using the phone prior to moving to full fibre broadband? If so, it should simply be a matter of transferring the connection from the wall socket to the UK socket at the back of the broadband Hub?

The other thing to consider is that there might be a fault with the landline service.

I have had FF2P for 2 years with BT, ditched phone and cabling as was not expecting to have phone again.

Is RJ11 to RJ45 cable you thinking of,

@cooldude666 I'm guessing the phone base has an RJ11 socket - I was thinking more of an RJ11 to BT cable - something like this should be suitable.
