Go to another store and get RJ-11 plugs, simple.

The advantage of using RJ45 though is that eventually most homes will
have IP based voice. So if you properly install an ethernet network
it wont become a dinosaur like RJ11 would. And your jacks are useful
for both computers or phone should you decide to re-purpose a jack
some day.
