Answer:
Yes, but you may need to change the RJ-45 connector at each end with an RJ-11. = Changing to CAT-6 will do nothing to improve your telephone service. You still have the miles of cable from the central office to your outside telephone box.

Cat 6 is a standard for Ethernet, it is not a telephone communications standard. Cat does not stand for computer and telephone, it is short for Category. There is no such thing as a 'Cat 6 phone jack', if it uses an RJ-45 (ethernet cable size) connector, it is designed for digital data transmission. Use a cable designed for telephones or, I would personally recommend, hire a pro.

CAT= Computer and Telephone cable.
