wow this is awesome :) thanks but I can't use it because it's illegal right ? who knows :)

Excellent way to get your phone service terminated for abuse. The voltage that comes across the phone lines is NOT intended to provide significant levels of current.

The phone line at the jack is 50 Volts <<<DIRECT CURRENT>>>...useless for most appliances. Also, this is an excellent way of putting a solid short on the line, knocking your phones out of service....if detected by the local TEL-Co and you can be CHARGED!!!

too much work for too little (questionably legal) payout

How would a phone company detect this? For all they know it can be powering a mickey mouse phone with moving eyes.

People have been doing this for years,... and I love the ignorant people that bring up this is illegal,...or this will mess up your phone, bs. It won't mess up your phone, and they can't charge you because they don't monitor the current, they aren't the electric company. I'd love to know what your perfect by the book life is like, just because your not smart enough to mod anything,....your a joke.

Yay! I love when people yell at each other. It's almost as good as CL's "Rants and Raves".

Ok this is total crap lol I work for the telco company7 and this is wrong it two ways, A: you dont have current going through the phone lines unless the phone is ringing and when the phone is ringing it is 120v AC and B: when you have a cordless phone and the power goes out does the phone work for those who dont know the answer is no, nice try
