I love the stock image of an ethernet cable with only phone capabilities having continuity. Good choice from whoever made that decision.

Don't you need 2 pairs for phone

For a 2-line connection yes, but single line is just 1 pair.

Phone lines usually have 4 leads. Only blue/blue-white are used for the actual connection, orange/orange-white are often not connected.
