This instantly changes the call and routes it so that you are paying.

This is true of anybody ringing you; the phone call only ends when the caller hangs-up. If a friend rang you and you answered on one phone but wanted to move to another extension in your house, you could do so by replacing the receiver and then picking up the other one as long as your friend does not hang up in the mean time.
