I also thought that if I could plug the obi into any telephone outlet in the house and it would ring on the other telephone outlets too because they were all connected, then what would happen if the lines to the outside were connected could it ring in someone else's house?


Phone lines today are seldom connected between houses. In the old days, there was something called a party line. There were 2 or more houses connected in parallel. If you could break the connection to the telephone central office, then you could do what you describe.

You are just musing (thought experiment), and you are not thinking of doing that, right?
