Transferring Calls

  1. Answer the call.
  2. Press the Transfer soft key, then dial the number for where you want to transfer the call.
  3. Wait for the other party to answer:
    • If they answer, announce you are transferring a call, press the Transfer soft key again, then hang up.
    • If they are unavailable, press the EndCall soft key, then press the Resume soft key to return to the original caller.

You cannot block the display of phone numbers to the transfer recipient. Calls transferred to another VoIP phone show the forwarded number. Calls transferred to non-VoIP phones show the originating number.

You cannot transfer a call by searching the Corporate Directory and selecting the entry.
