Call Intercept

You can intercept a phone call when an extension is ringing. When another extension is ringing, press keys **<extension> on your phone, where "<extension>" is the extension number you will be intercepting a call from.
Example: 
Your extension 108
The ringing extension 107

Press **107

You have successfully intercepted the call that was ringing on extension 107, and you are now able to talk with the caller.

It is too late to intercept a call once the ringing extension has answered the call.


You must press ** slowly on a Polycom phone. Pressing two * in quick succession will change the characters into a +.  This is because the * key is used for more than one special character and multiple key presses cycles through the list of special characters.
