Two phones in two different rooms share the same number. Is it possible to call (ring) one from the other?

Answer 1

Only if it is a paging or intercom feature built into the CPE (customer premise equipment). Other wise, no. The answerer that said to call your self and hang up and Wait for it to ring is incorrect. This theory is impossible because when you pick up the phone it creates a short to connect your circuit and the switch in the telephone office sees that your phone is off the hook. You would get a busy signal and even if you hung up before, the call would not go through once you hung up because this would open the circuit and stop the switch from sending the ring current to ring your phone. There are industry secrets that are used for testing a line but you won't get them from an employee.

Answer 2

Yes you can. or least we could

We had an extention line of a business line at a different location 6 miles away and we could call that phone or visa versa.

That was about 25 years ago. They probably have changed that by now and if not you would need to know the special code to do it. Ours was a series of numbers.

Answer 3

Yes. Call your own phone number on one of the phones and then hang up to let it ring. Both phones will ring, then either phone can pick up and talk to each other.

Answer 4

No since it's not the phone that has the number but the telephone line. Once the first phone is picked up and dialed the telephone line is in use.

Answer 5

I can on my phones, but I have an intercom button on it. I hit that button, and it makes the other phone ring a different ring. Its a VTech phone in case you are interested.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
