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

[Alberto Risco]

I don't know if this will help you, but we had the same problem, we also
have Polycom 500s and I changed the pickupexten to *9 (anything other
than *8), because I read somewhere that for some reason Asterisk has a
problem with this feature and *8.  It worked for us.

No that's not problem.

On my current configs I get:

Oct  9 20:43:18 NOTICE[2990]: chan_sip.c:7455 handle_request: Nothing to

pick up

every time I try *8

Why does the phone think there is nothing to pickup?

Angus
