Is CAT 6 cable okay as a telephone line?

I need to run a telephone extension, am I correct in assuming I can use CAT 6 cable for this?

    The copper telephone network is scheduled to be turned off by December 2025, just over three years from now.

    • We’ve already stopped selling copper products in Salisbury, Wiltshire and  have announced over 2,900 locations, where we’ll stop selling copper products between now and August 2022. From September 2023 we'll only provide digital phones across the UK.

    Therefore the phone line I am intending install tomorrow will need to be reinstalled within three years , so I might as well use a cable that can be reused.
