[Asterisk-Users] *8 and group pickup not working

[C F]

Did you make sure in sip.conf that both the called extensions and the
extension trying to pick up are part of the same group?
In your case it means that both sip/200 and sip/202, as well as the
phone where you are dialing *8 from should all be the same group
numbers.
