Blind, supervised, and direct-to-voicemail transfers
You can transfer a call in one of the following ways:
Blind transfer, sometimes called an unattended transfer. You transfer the call without
first speaking to the recipient. When the recipient answers the phone, the call is
connected.
Supervised transfer, sometimes called an attended transfer. You speak to the transfer
recipient first, while the caller is placed on hold. You can then complete the transfer, or
conference the three of you together, or cancel the transfer and return to the caller.
Direct to voicemail.
