Call Transfer - V10.0
Product Description
Call Transfer allows an end-user to transfer an incoming call to any telephone number that can be directly dialed, including long distance, and hang up without disconnecting the call.
Call Transfer also allows an end-user to add a third party to an existing incoming call.
With Centrex 21, Call Transfer combines two different features
into one; Conference Calling 3-Way and Call Transfer.
With Centrex Plus, Centrex Prime® and Centron® Call
Transfer combines three different features into one; Three
Way Calling, Consultation Hold and Call Transfer.
Call Transfer with Conference Calling 3-Way and Consultation Hold allows an end-user to connect a third line to an established connection by depressing the switch hook, consult in private with the third party and return to the original call by using only one line. An end-user of a line can transfer any established call to another line within or outside the Centrex system.
To activate Call Transfer, Call Hold or Conference Calling 3-Way:
- Press the switch hook.
- A unique call transfer dial tone will indicate the calling party is on hold.
- Dial the telephone number of the third party and do one
of the following:
- Hang up to complete the transfer
- Stay on the line until the third party answers, introduce the call and then hang up
- To conduct a three-way conversation, press the switch hook before or after the third party answers and all three parties will be connected.
