[Asterisk-Users] Re: how to fetch a call? (Tony Mountifield)

[Sudhir Kumar]

Remote Call Pick up feature is very much implemented in asterisk. You
can pick up a call for another extension by dialing  *8#

To be able to do that, you need to have the extensions in the same
pickup group, configurable through sip.conf and zapata.conf.
