Well, it's the same voltage when ringing, regardless of what kind of
phone you have. The only issue is if the phone is poorly
insulated. When I worked at Bell Labs, there was an issue with a
poorly insulated phone used in a patient's room in a
hospital. Apparently, the patient put it on his chest while he was
talking and left it there afterwards. Allegedly got quite a "wake
up" call when it rang.
