Wireless phones question

Situation :
One landline, several sockets (upstairs and downstairs).

Plug in two "old" phones (wired), one in each socket.
During a call on one of the phones, you can now pick up the other phone and join in the conversation (call it party line, conference call or whatever).

Plug in one wireless (DECT) "master" base station that can serve two wireless handsets. You now have lost the party line/conference call function. (After some button punching you can 'listen in' on the second handset, but not talk.)

Now my question (the shop didn't know) :
If I buy two separate base stations (each with one handset), and plug one in each socket, will that work again like the original party line arrangement? I.e., am I able to again join the conversation (listen and talk) on both phones?

Any insight greatly appreciated.
