Default Outdoor telephone cable repair advise needed

My lawn guy came by and his weedeater or mower nipped/cut my outdoor
underground telephone cable where it leaves the ground and reach up the side
of the house to the outside box.

The wire is still connected (my phone is still working) but the cable is
totally chewed up and metal exposed so I need to get this repaired. If this
were a coxial cable I can cut the wire clean, hook up two female connector
to each end, crimp them and connect both to a male/male thread. Then put a
heat sink ribbon over it, blow dry and done.

But telephone wire is different, I don't know of any water proof easy to use
round connectors, all those I saw are indoor type "boxy" adaptors. Is there
something to use for outdoor telephone cable repair?

Thanks in advance,

MC
