A call can be transferred in one of three ways:
  • Consultative transfer—The party to whom you want to transfer the call answers their phone before you transfer the call or hang up. You can consult with them before completing the transfer.
  • Blind transfer—The call is automatically transferred after you dial the number of the party to whom you want to transfer the call.
  • Attended transfer—The parties are automatically connected to each other after you exit the conference.
