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!!!

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

billyq1984 is so happy to share his knowledge about his job, he neglects the fact that he is wrong. fact: current is running without an incoming call billq. cordless phones arent powered by the phone line, they receive power from the wall with an ac adapter. if the power from the wall(non phone jack) goes out, the phone wont have power. billyq, you are a fool.

Yes, Billy you work for the phone company on the moon maybe? Current is always flowing through your phone jack, the truth is: more current (cannot give you the exact voltage) is flowing through the phone jack when the phone rings. You could do many great things with this, if you know how to convert, manage, and control power! Hahahaha! I will take over the world! ...just kidding on that part, but yeah many cool things are possible!

What everyone has failed to mention is that the available current (not voltage) is very small. If you exceed it, you will overload the telco equipment and trip a fuse. When the phone company comes out to investigate, it won't take them long to figure out what you've been up to. Note that the video uses an LED lamp that only draws a few watts. This small amount of "saved" power will be insignificant on your electric bill and is hardly worth the trouble.
