[asterisk-users] BLF/Call Pickup using SPA942, SPA962, SPA932

[Cassius Smith]

After chasing this some more, I decided to do the following:
1. Change the pickup code on the phone to *8#
2. Add an extension as follows:
exten => _*8XXX,1,Pickup($EXTEN:2})

This worked. When I first tried it, I included a context but that didn't
work for me (could be my dialplan context includes).

Yes, all set to same pickup group.
Here is sip.conf setup (all ext's are similarly configured):
[600]
type=friend
mailbox=600 at default
context=users
pickupgroup=1
host=dynamic
secret=*******

hi,

just taking a wild guess here, are the extensions set to be in the same 
pickupgroup?
