Narrative:
Controller call to point aircraft #1 out to adjacent area and controller accidentally called wrong person. When that person answered he was stepped on by 2 land line calls, so controller #1 could not hear what position he said he was. Controller #2 took the pointout anyway even though the aircraft was leaving his airspace. So controller #1, thinking he had pointed the aircraft out to the right person, climbed the aircraft in someone else's airspace without proper coordination. The other airspace had traffic and the two got together.

Title: COORD SNAFU OCCURRED WHEN ZTL CTLR CALLED ADJACENT SECTOR WITH POINTOUT TO CLB TFC.
Narrative: CTLR CALL TO POINT ACFT #1 OUT TO ADJACENT AREA AND CTLR ACCIDENTALLY CALLED WRONG PERSON. WHEN THAT PERSON ANSWERED HE WAS STEPPED ON BY 2 LAND LINE CALLS, SO CTLR #1 COULD NOT HEAR WHAT POS HE SAID HE WAS. CTLR #2 TOOK THE POINTOUT ANYWAY EVEN THOUGH THE ACFT WAS LEAVING HIS AIRSPACE. SO CTLR #1, THINKING HE HAD POINTED THE ACFT OUT TO THE RIGHT PERSON, CLBED THE ACFT IN SOMEONE ELSE'S AIRSPACE WITHOUT PROPER COORD. THE OTHER AIRSPACE HAD TFC AND THE TWO GOT TOGETHER.
