VOIP internal transfer

With the old analogue wired system at home when you received a n incoming call on say the upstairs phone you could always get someone else to pick up the phone say downstairs to listen in to the call or take the call and you put the phone back down. Am I correct in believing this is no longer possible? i.e you either have to go downstairs with a DECT phone in your hand or get the other person to come upstairs to take the call?

@Crisp1 You will need to consult you DECT phone itself, you used to be able to do that with standard phones but it was not a feature on DECT at least my Panasonic would not do it, but there is a ring transfer mode, but as i say its a look at the feature of your dect phone system. DV also my operate completely different so do keep it in mind.

Thanks again JimM11, DV is a big learning curve from the old analogue. Ignoring DECT, if two analogue BT Decor phones were hard wired in parallel via the telephone socket on the EE router and there was an incoming call obviously both phones would ring. When phone A answers call could Phone B lift receiver and join the conversation as with the old analogue system?

@Crisp1 I would expect so, don't think the decor range have anything special, and it's all down to the ATA port on the EE router, you can only but try, The DVA (Digital Voice Adapter) is a DECT device that connects to the EE Router internal DECT system wirelessly and just letting you know about that device,
