Replacing lead: BT socket to BT Decor phone

I need to replace a defective lead between a BT socket and a fairly old BT Decor phone. There's a bewildering variety of leads online! Which type should I choose please?

You only need two wires but it doesn't matter if there are more.

The BT end is always the same, it's the wiring in the clear RJ11 socket that goes into the phone that changes. So take a look at the cable & see where the wires go. You'll maybe need a magnifying glass or take a pic on your phone & zoom in. If they're connected to the centre two pins, that's cross-wired. If not it's straight.

Since you are only requesting a replacement lead, here's an earlier post on the same topic.
