Are phone jack outlets just as dangerous as power outlets around children?

We have all of the power outlets covered properly to prevent electricution, but what about the phone outlets? I just caught my 2 year old putting a key in a phone outlet and I'm concerned about the risks if there are any. Do they make phone jack covers?

The ring voltage gets fairly high (>50V). I have been bit by it in the past. This only occurs while the phone is ringing though. I had never thought of it but it might be a good idea to cover the unused phone jacks. Google "telephone ring voltage" to see what I mean. Here's some dust covers: http://cableorganizer.com/dust-cover/?engine=google&kw=&s_kwcid=jack%20covers|554182875&gclid=CN7index1pMCFSY1agoduXuIiw

Correct me if I'm wrong.These are extremely low voltage,a minor tingle maybe expected.

We are all different and different things affect us differently.Perhaps a call to your phone company would be justified.

Good Luck

EDIT: As a former concrete pump operator we were always told expect the unexpected.We boomed under wires,however the eliminate of line being energized in the system always exist.

There is little danger from a phone jack unless there is lightning outside.

No, very little power there. You would be lucky to feel a 'tickle' from it.

no its low voltage

no they do not bite. But dont try it during a thunder storm.
