Two phone lines into one phone

I didn't know where to post this so I put it here, sorry if I've got it wrong.

I have my main phone line and a second phone line going through my orange box in my house. I currently have the 3 wireless phones on the mainline, as that's the number everyone knows and is easier to call, and another phone on the orange box phone line as it's much cheaper to call out on this one.

Is there such an adaptor that can take two phone lines and direct them to the single wireless phone sets? Basically an adaptor that has two of those rectangular ports going in and the small square one out? I've tried finding one with no luck.
 
Unless I've misunderstood, you'd just be joining phone lines together. The phones have no idea which one to connect to and would just connect to both (or more likely just fail entirely) - it just wouldn't work.

Only way of doing it's with some sort of PABX system. You'd then need to dial a number to pick an outside line. A little OTT though.
 
Can't you get phones that can accept 2 lines? One for home, one for work, that sort of thing?

That would be ideal, I just tried searching for one with no luck. I'll keep trying but if anyone thinks of one before I find one it'd be much appreciated. Thanks for the help guys.
