While on an active call, press the softkey under the word "Options" 3. Using the directional buttons, select "Transfer" by highlighting it in blue and pressing OK 2. Dial the destination number where you want to send the call To send a call directly to voicemail dial a star (*) before the user’s extension 3. Press the softkey under the word "Transfer" NOTE: If you wish to move calls around while having the opportunity to speak with the destination before they receive the call then Intulse recommends using call parking instead of attended transfers in most cases. 5. Call Parking Call parking is a process of placing a call on hold in a predefined “space”. Anyone can retrieve that call at a later time by pressing the corresponding button on their phone or dialing the spaces number. 5.1. Parking a call 1. While on an active call, press the softkey under the word "Options" 2. Using the directional buttons, select "Call Park" by highlighting it in blue and pressing OK 3. Dial the correct park code corresponding to a parking space 5.2. Retrieving a parked call 1. Dial the park code corresponding to the parking space holding the call you wish to retrieve. 5.3. Using call parking to move calls around your organization Call parking can be an easy way for organizations to move calls around instead of transferring them. For example, let us suppose that an office professional named John answers many incoming calls per day. John may wish to send some of those calls to his manager, James. When a call comes in John can park the call in a space for which he knows both he and James have buttons. He can then call James and tell him that someone is holding for him in “Park 71”. Then, James can hang up with John and press the button on his phone for that space to pick up the call. If James tells John that he cannot take the call at this time John can retrieve the call himself. If no one picks up the call from the parking space it will eventually ring the person who parked it and attempt to return the call to them. ...
