We have seen
Snape call Lupin office to office at Hogwarts,
Perkins call Arthur Weasley at home,
Sirius secretly calling Harry and
Harry secretly calling Sirius.
That’s all I remember from the top of my head. There has been no indication of 'calls' being transferred, because in all these cases it was not necessary or even had to be avoided to keep the secret. So, if it is possible to transfer 'calls', we wouldn’t know. I didn’t look into the 'fic to see whether it is done convincingly for a plausible reason, but considering how bureaucracy works, it wouldn’t be too far a stretch to assume that it does work like that in certain places like the Ministry. And if it’s sufficiently funny, it doesn’t even need to be reasonable; it certainly doesn’t contradict canon.
