I had completely forgotten that we actually had one back when I was living with my parents, because the cordless phones we had allowed you to call out and take calls, but also call any other cordless phone attached to the same base station. We didn't think much of it at first, but it was actually super useful because going upstairs was relatively inconvenient and shouting didn't work if we were wearing headphones. Today I guess we would just whatsapp each other.
