[Freeswitch-users] group call with BLF and pickup

[Brian West]

The tip I can give you here is you have to set the  
"presence_id=5555 at domain" on a session so 1. the events are fired for  
that... and 2. you actually get the BLF for 5555  ;)  The presence ID  
will allow you to set arbitrary things you can then subscribe to on  
the phone.
