[Asterisk-Users] Call Pickup Woes

[Adam Dale]

I've configured the following in features.conf

pickupexten = *8 ; Configure the pickup extension. Default is *8

and all SIP extensions are configured as pickupgroup=1.

These phones can make and receive calls, and also use features such as *69,
*70 and *98.

When I dial *8 I get a beeping as if there is no valid extension and no
debugging information when I open the console with asterisk -vvvr

Its not in extensions.conf, its in features.conf -- in extensions.conf 
you have to configure callgroups for each of your extensions, so that 
you can pick them up with *8.
