Because I might have more phones than mouths :-) If I'm busy with one 
conversation, I don't want to hear another phone ring.
I might have a desktop and a portable phone.

There were a similar wish for queues a month ago or so:

Given an office/warehouse/home with several phones, but fewer persons.
Queue should only have so many active calls at the same time; eg two 
persons in the office, 5 phones.
two calls come in, ringing every phone, two calls gets picked up. Third 
incomming call stays in queue until one conversation is terminated.
