Trailing Wires

Not sure if this is the right place so please move if necessary.
I have a telephone extension wire which trails over the carpet and I've put some flatish plastic covers over but they just break up. I don't want anyone to trip over them (I've done this myself a few times) so there anything else which I could use?
I don't want to put them under the carpet as the carpet will soon be replaced and as it's across the hall way, I think it would be a rather large job!
Thanks

Unfortunately no - the phone line is one side of the hall and the room to which I've extended it is on the opposite side (approx 2m away). To pin it around doors etc I would need a flex about 15m!
