I would be very leery and careful of using phone company voltage to make CS. 
The US 'ringing current' voltage is around 110 volts alternating DC with almost 
unlimited current carrying capability.
Also if you load down the phone company lines they may shut you off permanently.

  Oughta work.  Voltage varies from state to state, country to country, but 
most run between 10 and 40 volts as I recall, just enough to shock you.  Just 
attach to some 9999999 silver and there ya go -- a good use for that spare 
phone outlet in the den.
