I dont know for sure....but i think it would be a very low voltage & nothing to worry about....unless someone knows differently of course ;)

According to the man who knows about these things the risk of electrocution from telephone wires is minimal, unless stuffed in the mouth and the other hand in an electrical socket.

The bigger risk is from wrapping the wires round necks / wrists etc.

My telephone wires are in trunking :D
