Call pickup
Call pickup allows you to use your own phone to answer the ringing phone of a colleague. The colleague must be in your call pickup group. That group generally is set up several days after the installation of your new phone. Here's how to pick up a neighbor's call:
- Press the "call pickup" softkey on your phone's screen. If this feature doesn't work, your call pickup group may not have been set up yet. Try again later.
- If you want to know who's in your call pickup group, sign on to the web portal (phone.iastate.edu) and go to "call control," then "call pickup."
Incoming calls ring simultaneously on one (or more) phones
On occasion, you may want your incoming calls to ring not only to your office phone, but on one or more other phones. This feature is easy to set up, and easy to turn on or off as needed.
- If you haven't done so, set up your portal
- Go to phone.iastate.edu and sign in
- In the left navigation, click "incoming calls"
- Under the "advanced" column, click "simultaneous ring personal"
- Add numbers of other phones that will simultaneously ring (don't check the "answer confirmation required")
- After "simultaneous ring personal," click the "on" button
- Click the "OK" or "apply" button
- NOTE: If you don't pick up any of your ringing phones in time, the phone with the speediest voice mail will collect your message.
