I noticed there I can feel the electricity when I touch one of my telephone wires. I thought that we couldn't feel the 48 V that is usual for this kind of wire.
Maybe one power line 127 V is submerged with this wire and that's why I can feel it.
I have a multimeter. To verify it should I measure the voltage in relation to the nearest ground or what?

Telephone line voltage is nominally 48V DC (varies though, depending on your distance to the CO and what voltage they are set at), and ring voltage is nominally 90V AC at 20 Hz (as opposed to 60Hz mains power). You should be able to test these between the tip and ring (red/green, or center pair) wires on your phone line. When not ringing, you should measure near 0V AC.
It seems like between 50V DC is about the threshold of when people can feel DC power: your line may be higher or you may be more sensitive, or have had sweaty hands at the time, etc. While phone lines are normally safe, the ring voltage will DEFINITELY get your attention (as I discovered as an early teen just starting to mess with electronics). I generally won't touch live phone wires without disconnecting at the demarc anymore.
