    The connector for ethernet cables is called RJ45. for phone jack is RJ11. Although they look the same, the RJ11 has only 4 leads, as opposed to 9 leads in RJ45. Also, RJ11 is not as wide as RJ45, so the connector does not fit.

    Even if it would, the signals would be totally incompatible, so no success can be expected.
