  The electricity used by a phone doesn't come from the electricity
company. It comes from the phone company (through the phone line).
It's a completely separate system. The owner of the phone line doesn't
pay for that electricity (well, at least not directly).

  At most you could stretch and say that the caller was wasting the
electricity of the phone company.
