If you need to run a new phone line to that jack it is a lot like running coax for you cable. The difference is that you need to make sure you connect red to red, green to green, yellow to yellow, and black to black. it is pretty simple. Also I wouldn't put the wires to your tongue, because if the line gets called the ring voltage is quite a bit higher than usual. If you need to know the NID (usually grey box on the side of the house) shouldn't be locked. There are 2 sides to it the customer side (you) and the phone company side. That side would be locked.
