Default Connecting To Phone Box ?

Hi,

I will be adding a new phone jack to a wall in the house.
As there's no phone wire or other jack anywhere near it, the simplest
approach seems to be to just connect it to the main phone box of Verizon's
on the outside wall, which is directly opposit where I want the new
extension jack to be.

Can I just strip the wire, and place the the bare red and green wire's
copper under the screw terminal of the appropriate screw terminals in the
outside box ?

Or, is there some kind of connector, or crimp on tab, that should be used
when going to the main phone box of Verizon ?

Any caveats to be aware of ?

Thanks,
Bob
