phone issues
I thought something was wrong with my bedroom phone, but now I think that it is functioning as it is meant to.
If I picked up an old fashioned phone, while the phones were ringing, then I could not do anything with the modern handsets. I thought something would happen, like me joining the conversation. But actually the control is with the active line. Ie the old phone.
When more than one call could be made, you could open up a new line, but not joining an existing one.
So everything is consistent. One should only pick up the phone you intend to use.
