It has a very small amount of amps. Nothing dangerous to it may startle you if your touching the line when it rings but its not painful.
When ringing voltage is applied 90 volts AC is sent out onto the line. When a line is in active there is a -48 VDC on the line. So if your wet or standing in a puddle working on the lines you can get a little tingle in your fingers.
yea did the whole stick the wire in my mouth too, that sucked yea thanks dan i've tried to block that out of my mind.

And whatever you do....no matter how tempting it is.....use wire strippers and not your TEETH to get the insulation off! If the line rings as it did 14 years ago when I was too lazy to grab some scissors, you will get quite a shock in the mouth! I think I still taste copper.

The ringing voltage is about 100V AC. You don't want to be touching the line when the phone rings.

It's very low-volt - you can still get shocked, but not bad.

In the US, the average is about 14volts DC, but the amperage is very low.

48 dc volts when not in use.
