Transferring calls
You can transfer a call to another person in one
of two ways. A blind transfer sends a call directly
to another person without consulting them. A
consultative transfer sends a call after you've
spoken to the person first.
Choosing a default transfer type
Your phone is preconfigured to use consultative as
the transfer type, but you can choose which transfer
type to make the default for all calls.
• Go to Settings > Basic > Preferences.
• Select Default Transfer Type and choose a
transfer type. All calls use the selected transfer
type you select.
Making a blind transfer
.
• During a call, select Transfer.
.
• Alternatively, Dial a number or select a contact
from Recent Calls or Contacts.
That connects the call to the number you want to
transfer to. The call will transfer as soon as the line
connects.
Making a consultative transfer
• During a call, select Consult
places the caller on hold while you start
the transfer.
• Dial a number or select a contact from Recent
Calls or Contacts.
• When the person answers, speak with them and
then select Complete Transfer to transfer the call.
If the recipient doesn't answer your call, or can't
accept the call transfer and hangs up before you
transfer the call, the original caller stays on hold.
You can resume that call, or try to transfer it to
another number.
Cancel a transfer
If a contact doesn't answer the transfer, or if you
want to keep speaking to the contact on your line,
you can cancel the transfer before it completes.
Select Cancel; the call doesn't transfer and
becomes active again.
