If it is conventional "telephone wire" like sold in any hardware store, you do not bury it at all without conduit, or it will fail in short order. Check around, though, There may be a telephone line that can be buried without conduit, though I am not familiar with what it would be.

How deep of a trench to bury aluminum wiring for a garage 100 amps?

In the United States, the National Electric Code dictates the depth of buried electrical lines. You have not provided enough info for me to give an accurate answer. For instance, some cables are manufactured for direct burial, that is to say without a conduit. Other considerations would be whether or not you are crossing a driveway, or alleyway. However, the maximum depth required is 24 inches to the top of the conduit or cable. Under certain conditions this depth may be reduced to 18 inches to the top of the conduit. Thank you for your desire to make a good installation.
