My phone lines in my house are disconnected. I don't have phone service. If I measure the voltage from a wall socket I get 0V. So I don't know how I would be harming the phone lines anywhere else.If "give the wires" means to apply any other external power source to the telephone wires, AC or DC; you may end paying for the replacement of several miles of wire on the telephone poles while sitting in jail.
I don't think you understand , I don't have phone service. I am disconnected, there for I don't have DSL or dial tone. How will they be able to see foreign voltage if I don't have my lines connected?First of all I'm retired from one of the phone companies.If you alter the line the switch in the central office will see it .The C.O. person will then send out a trouble ticket for "Foreign Voltage" on the line ,and a repair person will be sent to the house to investigate. And there will be charges if it is comming from the house.You could also blow the carbons in your protector on the side of the house which also you will have to pay for. If that happens you will loose dial tone and DSL service if you have it ,and the phone company ,as we all know, will take a week or two to get there.
