I would like to ask something that is difficult for me to test at the moment because I am running out of phones 😂

Let’s say me and my phone are together in one office with two other phones. On of them is (endpoint definition in pjsip.conf) in the same pickup\_group as I am, the other one is not. Let’s say both phones are ringing and I dial the pickupexten (defined in features.conf).

Can I be sure that Asterisk will pickup the call of the phone with the same pickup\_group for me? Or could it happen that Asterisk chooses the other call randomly and then recognizes that it’s not my call group and end the call?
