The normal current when the telephone is off hook are about 25 milliampere.
The current may vary in a wide range depending on the length ow the line, and what kind of equipment used. Less than 23 milliamps may cause the electronics to not operate properly, but it should usually work from 18 milliamps, old rotary phones may sometimes cope with even less. If the current exceeds 60 milliamps, it may ruin some telephones and modems, but they should cope with the double. Most equipment works best around 25 milliamps. If you have echo problems heard in both ends, the high current may be an indicator on the end who generates problems.

What does milliamp hours mean?
A milliamp-hour is one thousanth of an amp-hour. For example: if you have a fully charged battery of 500 mAh (milliamp-hours), it is able to feed a lamp which draws a current of 500 mA for one hour. It also is able to feed a mobile phone in standby over a period of 50 hours, if it draws a current of 10 mA.Alternative AnswerA milliampere hour (not 'milliamp hour'!) is one-thousandth of an ampere hour, which is a unit of electrical charge. The SI unit for charge is a coulomb, which is a special name given to an ampere second. So, and ampere hour is 60 x 60, or 360 times larger than a coulomb.

Can I still buy an analog phone?
No a digital only phone will not work with analog service, but there are analog/digital phones, I don't know if these are still offered but they were very popular because during the transition from analog to digital, digital coverage was not as good as analog so when you had no digital service it would switch to analog. so the only way to have analog service is if the phone is dual analog/digital or if you have a old analog only phone. you can always look up your phone to see if analog is supported.
