2. If the phone has stopped ringing by the time you dial the *78 code, the system prompts you to enter
your pickup ID.
If the pickup ID that you enter is invalid, the system prompts you with "That is not a
valid pickup ID," and asks you to enter a valid pickup ID.
Changing phones during a call
Using connected call pickup, you can seamlessly transfer calls from one device to another, such as from a
cell phone to your desk phone. This feature is most commonly used with mobile twinning, where calls to
one phone number can ring simultaneously at multiple devices, such as an internal extension number and a
cell phone number. For example, if you were away from your desk and you answered a call that was

pickup feature, you can pickup that call on your desk phone, without the caller being aware that you
changed phones.
To configure mobile twinning, see your system administrator.
