Re: Fairly powerful shock from touching green line

Theres just no way the phone was ringing though. I had a cordless one (connected to another jack) and it didnt ring.

I think im just going to stay away from that line.

The only thing I would be touching would be the plastic phone jack.

You did not hear it cause you rang instead.

Did it feel good?

On a side note you probably have a bad ground on bell's side. Even with that kind of voltage going through your body you would have known after the fact if it had rang on yah. Well as long your had voice mail and the person left a message that is.

@bell.ca

 The phone line has 48 volts on it when on hook, but if you touch one side and either you are a good path to ground or another part of your body is touching another wire, metal structure, waterpipe, etc you will get a small usually harmless jolt. I think most of the jolt is from the unexpectiveness of receiving the jolt.
