There are three types of Call Pickup:

You can view the KB article Directed Call Pickup for more information on the Call Pickup feature.

Paging Group dialing codes

When dialing to Paging groups, all idle phones in the group will have their speaker turned on and the caller's voice will be heard on all phones. For more information on paging refer to this article.

Using a Paging Group as an Intercom

While not a true Intercom feature, any member of a paging group can answer a page as a two-way interactive call by using the dial code *80; disconnecting any other members currently listening to the paging call.

Intercom dialing codes

In order to start an Intercom call, the user will need to dial *90 + target user extension (i.e.*90100 will initiate the intercom call with the user ext 100).

Note:If the user has multiple devices assigned, the device that was added first will be considered an Intercom device.

In order to re-assign the Intercom role to another device, the user should dial *91 from the phone which he wants to be used for Intercom in the future.

Important: when the device which currently has Intercom role will be removed from the user, the Intercom role won't be assigned to any other device by itself, it will be necessary to dial *91from another device in order to have it assigned to it.

For more information on Intercom feature please refer to this article.

Call Park dialing code

While devices auto-provisioned (purchased directly, or Enhanced BYOP) have a Park softkey programmed, you can manually park a call from any device by simply pressing #7.

1. Press #7 while on an active call

2. The call is put on hold and the operator will advise you of the parked extension the call is now holding on (always starting at 980 and incrementing by 1).

3. You can now dial the parked extension number from any device on the account to immediately pick up the call.

On-demand Call Recording dialing code

This feature allows users to record calls on an as-needed basis, once Call Recording has been enabled in Host Pilot.

1. Push #9 to start the call recording or stop recording.

2. Depending on customer’s state, notification can be disabled.

   Note: Different states have different laws about the notification that calls are being recorded. Administrators can choose whether to enable or disable a call recording announcement based on their state’s requirements.

3. • If enabled, Your call is being recorded plays when you start recording.

4. When call is ended or recording stopped, .mp3 file of recording is delivered to the end user who initiated the recording via email.

Call & transfer directly to an extension's VM box

Elevate users may use a star code to call directly to another extension's voicemail box.

Dialing *<extension number> (e.g. *103) from any device will immediately call that extensions Voicemail.  You can use this star code to transfer callers directly to a voicemail box.

Blind Transfer to Voicemail of an extension:

1. When on a phone call, press the "Blind Transfer" soft-key.

   On different phone models this option can be accessed differently:

2. • For Polycom, it is usually located after "Transfer" is pressed, where "Blind" option can be seen

     (older models can require to hold "Transfer" key, and choose between "Blind" and "Consultative" options).

   • On Cisco and Yealink phones it is actually a separate soft-key, usually hidden under "More" options.

3. Dial *<extension number> (e.g. *103) and complete the transfer.

   Note: on the Yealink phones * key needs to be pressed twice in order for * symbol to appear.

4. The caller will then be sent directly to that extension's voicemail.
