Really? I plugged my old phone some days ago and set up a ssh daemon on it, just to see if it stays connected. Should I be worried?

Yes, it's potentially hazardous in the long run. You can hope that it only kills the battery fast, and that it doesn't make it swell or something.

(absolutely not an expert, though, this is why I asked for experiences :-))

It usually take a few years for the battery to swell, but it will happen. I have a phone as GSM modem to send and recieve SMS for automatic tasks. I've had 3/3 batteries on two different phones swell so far.
