Why not use call-conferencing? If you transferred your call into a
conference room, you could join the conference from any extension on your *.
When the caller hangs up, just end the conference.

Hi All,
I'd appreciate some help on how to implement "call stealing". That is,
where you dial a code to redirect any call on the system to your
handset.
I'm getting rid of my BRI service and I'm trying to replace the
functionality of my existing ISDN2e PBX (Cybergear Gold) with VOIP and
Asterisk. On my ISDN PBX, the short-code *46 does this. For example,
if I take a call on my living room extension and need to refer to some
paperwork, I can go to the study, pick up that extension, dial *46,
and the call is transferred to the study where I can continue the call
with the paperwork to hand. It also helps if you take a call for
someone else if that person can steal the call from your extension.
Call parking provides a partial work-around but it's a pain having to
remember to park a call before moving location. I haven't found an
application for call stealing and can't figure out a way to do this.
Can anyone help?
TIA,
--
Geoff
