    Go to the mall and find an outlet. Plug in your battery charger. Other than
    that, not really. The power in the phone line is used by the Telco to
    determine if your line is off-hook, and to run various lights and
    electronics in your phone. It isn't useful for much else without
    compromising the use of the phone line you're paying for anyway.
