With the Temporary Bridged Appearance feature, extension to cellular users and multiappearance telephone users in a Terminating Extension Group (TEG) or a Personal Central Office Line (PCOL) group can bridge on an existing group call. If the Call Pickup feature is used to answer the call, the originally called party can bridge onto the call. The called party can use this feature to bridge onto a call that redirects to coverage before the called party can answer the call.
