    I’m not sure what you mean by “disguised as a doorbell”. It’s for controlled access buildings where you need to be able to talk to the person at the door and selectively admit them.

      Well I understand that. I meant to make it look like an intercom while the inside is basically just a landline.

        Because the whole fucking reason was to reduce costs, since everyone is going to have a landline anyway.

        My building is like this, it was built in the 60s the concept of multiple phones in a house hold was completely unthinkable at the time.

          I fucking know. I meant why did they not do that after landlines stopped being used.
