[Asterisk-Users] Can I pick up a phone that rings from my phone?

[Mark Phillips]

Put the same lines as mentioned below in your sip.conf file. You'll need
to add the lines for every phone you want to be in the pickup group.

You can then make different pickup groups for different teams etc.

This assumes that your phones are SIP based.

Now, what I want to have a line ring on all the phones in a group (this
bit is easy). When a user picks up I want another user to be able to
press a button on his phone and join the conversation. I use the Cisco
7960.

This feature is available on my Lucent Definity G3 but I don't know what
it's called.
