I recall that too actually, but that was back in the old rotary phone
days.  I didn't dial the phone # of the house, but there was a number that
you dialed, then hung up, and all the connected phones would ring.  We
used to use it as a poor man's intercom between the house and the
outbuildings.

Cheers!
