They have been able to do that with regular house phones pretty much ever since they got rid of the rotory dial.
( yes I'm old enough to remember when phones had wires and round dials lolol )

What the article was saying though, was it could be done even if the "off" switch was pressed.

On cellphones.

(Most) Cordless phones have an old fashioned no-shit power interruption switch, not a 'request' switch like computers and cellphones have.

"Off" means off on one of those.
