The rest of the time nothing.

Disconnect your telephonic equipment and apply a Megger to the line.

This will fizzle off the dampness.

Or get someone to phone your landline number. The 50V from
the exchange will do the same.

The 50V (DC) is there all the time (*especially* when the line isn't
being used when there is no load on it). I think it's more like 80V AC
that is down to the ringing current (that would appear if someone rang
the line).
