Picking Up a Redirected Call on Your Phone

Call PickUp allows you to answer a call that is ringing on a coworker’s phone by redirecting the call to your phone. You might use Call PickUp if you share call-handling tasks with coworkers.

Tips

If multiple calls are available for pick up, your phone picks up the oldest call first (the call that has been ringing for the longest time).

If you press GPickUp or Group PickUp and enter a line number, your phone picks up the ringing call on that particular line (if available).

If you have multiple lines and want to pick up the call on a non-primary line, first press for the desired line, then press a Call PickUp softkey or button.
