how is it that a phone gets it energy to work? i know it comes through the phone lines then to the phone unless its a cordless then it has ac... and what is the voltage that travels though those lines to power such a phone.

Just a project im working on...

i'm really not looking for a dial tone... i'm just looking to power a handset.
would it be possible to power one to use as a tone dialer? and if so how would i connect the power copling? green to poss or red to possitve or the oppisite?

red is ring, green is tip.

And remember, when that phone rings thats a 90volt spike on the line if I remember correctly.

I dunno if this is relevant..but ive powered a fone off a 9V b4. Connected the terminals of the battery to the red and green.

I know this cause one night i was chewing on a line in the middle of my room (that i hook my laptop to when i feel like going on the floor) when my friend calls. SHOCK!**@$^*$@^*#%*^#$%


I know, that was a stupid idea!!! but i was half asleep.
