Call Pickup

The call pickup service enables a user to answer any ringing line within their pickup group. A pickup group is a group of users within a location, to which the call pickup feature applies. Administrators assign these users to a group in order to apply the call pickup feature for those users. In this guide, we’ll review how to create a new call pickup group and edit an existing call pickup group.

Call Pickup Feature Operation

To pick up a ringing call coming to another user of the group, users go off-hook and dial the Call Pickup feature access code (*98), or press the Call Pickup softkey on your phone, if provisioned, which connects them to the ringing party.

If more than one line in the call pickup group is ringing, the call that has been ringing the longest is picked up.

Users already engaged in a two-way call can flash the switch hook to put the other party on hold and dial the Call Pickup feature access code to answer an incoming call to the call pickup group. Users then flash the switch hook to toggle between the two parties.
