- You can do this without needing CT2 technology. I have an Ascom cordless
- phone set, with base station and two handsets, that does intercom between
- handsets or handsets and base station (up to 8 handsets possible), call
- transfer between handsets, ringback on one handset when the other hangs
- up... just like a home exchange.
-
- It uses ordinary analogue domestic cordless phone technology, with some
- noise reduction. Available in Dixons. I think it's called Ascom CT128 (for
- 'one to eight' handsets?!).
