Phone lines are low voltage. If someone attempts to call you while you're holding the wires, you'll feel a little bit of a jolt, but not enough to do damage or even hurt (unless you have a Pacemaker or something, then I don't know).

- Mains is low voltage, phones are extra low voltage

- When cabling up a building, data/voice lines are treated differently than power. The data & voice are referred to as low voltage. It's all a question of where your experience lies.

If you are in the UK then just remove the front of the main box, this will disconnect all the house telephone wiring, leaving just the one socket behind that you can still use.
