Call Pickup
Interaction With
Other Features
This section describes how call pickup interacts with other VCX phone
features. Note the following considerations:
■ Call Forwarding — If both the phone forwarding a call and the
phone receiving the forwarded call belong to the same call pickup
group, then any member of the group may answer the call.
■ Camp On — A call pickup group member or a directed call pickup
user cannot answer a camp on callback call.
■ Conference Calls — A conference call cannot be picked up at
another extension. A conference originator can, however, pick up a
call and add it to the conference call.
■ Display Panel — When you pick up a call, the telephone Display
Panel shows a confirmation message, for example,
PickUp Marie x3434.
■ Hunt Groups — A call pickup group member can also be a member
of a hunt group. Call pickup group members can use either directed
call pickup or group call pick up to answer a call that is ringing at
another group member's telephone.
■ Speed Dials — You or your administrator can assign the following to
a speed dial button:
■ The feature code for directed call pickup (455).
■ Only the feature code for directed call pickup (455).
