In busy office environments,colleagues often step away from their desks—leaving incoming calls unanswered."Call Pickup"is a VoIP feature that allows users to answer calls ringing at another extension,ensuring no call is missed due to an empty desk.Redstone Systems includes a flexible"Call Pickup"feature in its REX Series IP-PBX,fostering collaboration and efficiency for teams and shared workspaces.
Redstone’s"Call Pickup"offers multiple modes to fit team structures.“Direct Call Pickup”lets users answer a specific extension’s call by dialing a code(e.g.,*97+extension number)—ideal for small teams where colleagues know each other’s extensions.“Group Call Pickup”allows users to answer any call ringing within their designated group(e.g.,sales team,marketing department)by dialing a single code(e.g.,*98)—perfect for larger teams or shared workspaces.“Global Call Pickup”enables authorized users(e.g.,admins)to answer calls across the entire organization,useful for multi-department businesses.
Using Redstone’s"Call Pickup"is straightforward.When a colleague’s phone is ringing and they’re unavailable,any team member can dial the appropriate code to answer the call.The system connects the caller to the retrieving user seamlessly,with no delay or additional steps.For example,in a marketing office,if the social media manager is in a meeting and their phone rings,a teammate can use"Call Pickup"to answer the call—ensuring the client inquiry is addressed promptly.
Redstone’s"Call Pickup"integrates with other VoIP features to enhance usability.It works with call logging tools,recording details of picked-up calls(e.g.,original extension,retrieving user,call duration)for tracking.It also pairs with call forwarding,allowing users to forward picked-up calls to the intended recipient’s voicemail if needed.For mobile teams,"Call Pickup"works with NewLync app,enabling remote users to answer office extension calls from their smartphone.
Security and control are prioritized in Redstone’s"Call Pickup".IT teams can configure permissions via the UMS platform,restricting"Call Pickup"to specific groups or extensions—preventing unauthorized users from answering sensitive calls(e.g.,finance department lines).The system also includes audible alerts(e.g.,a beep)to notify users when they’ve successfully picked up a call.
