[Asterisk-Users] Directed Call Pickup

[Garth van Sittert]

Hi Alex

I tried your exact example below and still the same thing.  I am getting 
403 Denied after I see the Pickup cmd in the CLI.  If you do a show 
channel SIP/XXX when the phone is ringing, do you get a value for 
Extension:??

Kind Regards
Garth
