It can be a surface mounted connector. Easier that what you are trying to
do in the first place. Much easier if you have to replace anything down the
line.

Yes, sometime the phone will need to be replaced.

Check the phone book or even local large flea market. There are many
guys in the biz that charge way less than the phone companies.

I doubt it's any different from the standard red/green but nothing
prevents you from saving the plug you just cut off and looking at its
wires (plug is transparent - everything should be visible). Whatever are
the colors of the wires connected to center pins - those are the only ones
you should worry about.

It would not be a good idea to not have a modular plug when you use an
adapter such as DSL filter on a phone line. It is exactly why the
connection is not permanent. What if you need to connect a DSL modem to
that outlet? then you'd want to filer out which is a pain if it's
hardwired. That said though, if you are certain you are not going to want
to filter removed from the outlet, I think the better way would be to use
a phone faceplate with filter inside. Basically, the thing replaces the
faceplate and the jack with an all-in-one assembly and the one I have
laying around in a box of old parts somewhere even has two prongs to hang
the phone on if it's a wall-mount location.

It is an emergency phone in an elevator so that will never happen.

That is what I want to do but the phone is attached to the wall and
there is no apparent way to get it off.
