    BT phone lines carry about 50V

    Ahh cwap ment to say the current. Cos even though the voltage can be 50v to 90v when ringing the current that passes through you if you touch em is too small and will give u a little tingle.
    Edit: Ahh Georgy291 posted just as I was. I think it always carrys 50v.

    So yeah ask people not to ring you when doing it lol OR they will be the ones in for a SHOCK!!!!
