8.2.7.4.1 Consultation Call Transfer
The device supports Consultation Call Transfer (using the SIP REFER message and
Replaces header). The common method to perform a consultation transfer is described in
the following example, which assumes three call parties:
Party A = transferring
Party B = transferred
Party C = transferred to
1. A Calls B.
2. B answers.
3. A presses the hook-flash button and places B on-hold (party B hears a hold tone).
4. A dials C.
5. After A completes dialing C, A can perform the transfer by on-hooking the A phone.
6. After the transfer is complete, B and C parties are engaged in a call.
The transfer can be initiated at any of the following stages of the call between A and
C:
• Just after completing dialing C phone number - transfer from setup.
• While hearing Ringback – transfer from alert.
• While speaking to C - transfer from active.
8.2.7.4.2 Blind Call Transfer
Blind call transfer is done (using SIP REFER messages) after a call is established between
call parties A and B, and party A decides to immediately transfer the call to C without
speaking to C. The result of the transfer is a call between B and C (similar to consultation
transfer, but skipping the consultation stage).
