Like all electrical appliances you can receive an electrical shock from them.
If you are not familiar with electricity, allow me to explain.
It is not the voltage but the amperage that kills.
Check the amperage that the cell phone draws, it doesn't take a lot to kill.

Nope, people do it all the time, the amount of electricity coming through the cord, after going through the transformer *the box part) is very low voltage, will give you a tickle, but not kill you.

Probably but only in extremely (billion to one) bizzare and unusual circumstances. No more likely that using a normal in-home corded phone

Not in America. There was one or two cases in the world, but they were problems with fake batteries in third-world countries. See www.snopes.com for details.

I do it at least every other day and I'm still alive. So, I would say no.
