A:Answer yes if someone picks up the original call, anyone in the home can pick up a different phone and join in the conversation or the original phone receiver can be hung up. I also believe the phones can be used outside though I have not done this. If you are going to work in the yard, you could put a receiver in your pocket to take a call. I am not sure how far from the main receiver this work. I am guessing the conditions in each home would cause a different distance.
