Is CAT 6 cable okay as a telephone line?

I think it’s probably about seven years since I last ran an actual straightforward telephone extension, in another couple of years there won’t be a copper phone network to connect them to, we may not have ours in a few weeks from now.

There are loads of things that will need to be replaced that are currently connected to telephone lines, like emergency call pendants in homes without internet.
