During Calls Using the Basic Features of Your Phone

Transferring Calls

A call can be transferred in one of three ways:

•Consultative—The party to whom you want to transfer the call answers their phone before you transfer the call or hang up.

—See “Performing a Consultative Transfer” on page 41.

•Blind—The call is automatically transferred after you dial the number of the party to whom you want to transfer the call. You don’t have the option of talking to the party.

—See “Performing a Blind Transfer” on page 42.

•Attended—Conference call parties are automatically connected to each other after you exit a conference.

—Set up a conference call and then end your participation. For more information, see “Ending Conference Calls” on page 45.

By default, when you end a conference, the other conference call participants remain connected. However, your system administrator may set up your phone so that when you end a conference, all connections end.
