You can't run it on the same wire your phone service and use filters to allow their simultaneous use. But installing it yourself is very easy. All you need is a Cat3 (standard telco) cable run from the NID (network interface device - where the phone lines come in the house) to where ever you want the ISDN service. The telco hooks the wires (single pair) together at the NID, tells you which colors to use at the receptacle, and you just saved yourself US$100-$300.
