Use the application Pickup exten => 88,1,Pickup(SIP/singleringerphone) -= Info about application 'Pickup' =- [Synopsis] Directed Call Pickup [Description] Pickup([EMAIL PROTECTED]&[EMAIL PROTECTED]): This application can pickup any ringing channel that is calling the specified extension. If no context is specified, the current context will be used. If you use the special string "PICKUPMARK" for the context parameter, for example [EMAIL PROTECTED], this application tries to find a channel which has defined a channel variable with the same content as "extension".
