Call Transfer

Monthly cost: $1.50 Back to features

Call transfer allows you to transfer a call to another telephone number without having to remain on the line.

You must have the Three-Way Calling feature in order to use Call Transfer.

To transfer a call to another party:

  • Depress and release switchhook. This puts party “A” on hold.
  • You’ll hear 3 burst of dial tone, then a (normal) steady dial tone.
  • Dial party “B”, the person to whom you want to transfer the call.
  • When party “B” answers, hang up. Your call has been transferred.
  • If you get a busy signal or no answer when calling party “B”, briefly depress and release the switchhook. This will stop the call to party “B” and reconnect you with party “A”. If the busy signal or ringing continues, press the switchhook again.

When would I use Call Transfer?

  • When needing to transfer a family member or friend from a payphone.
  • When the transferred party has no way of writing down a number.

Benefits:

  • Allows you to direct the caller to a particular party without requiring the caller to initiate another call.
  • Eliminates having to stay on the line, after a Three-Way call, for the other parties to converse.
