Correct.
It is used on older telephones to cause the phone to ring.
On most modern telephones that are now available, it is no longer used.
If you have a pair of 20 year old telephones, for example, then do not do this.
If you have a pair of new wireless telephone bought in the last year or two, then go ahead.
If something goes wrong, it is a simple process to reinsert the wire using a crimping tool. Some members on this forum (and other forums too) advocate the use of a Credit Card as a tool to insert the wire properly.

All Phones in my house are corded and some are more than 5 years old so would that put me in the possible category where the ring wire is needed.
Sorry for al the questions it is just that I am visually impaired and if removing the wire could be a mistake and then be fiddly to reconnect that could be a bit more tricky for me than it would be for the average user so I am trying to make sure that removing it won't cause any problems with the type (and age) of phones I have to void having to potentially reconnect it.

The bell wire is not required when using fillers, which you should be on all sockets in use, so it does not matter how old your phones are. Also if your phone uses tone dialling it does not require the ring wire.

Oh right well in that case I'll do that asap and see if that helps anything as the phone does have a dial tone when the handset is picked up. One thing to add as well the conversation with sky yesterday was clear no noise during phone call.
