...you don't hang up the call to the 3rd party, you just put them on hold (by pressing the first line), and transfer the call ATTENDED (not blind transfer).
Actually, you don't need to put the 3rd party on hold, you just press the TRNF-button while on the call to C, and then hit Line 1. The call is then transferred, attended. Same as most phones supporting Attended and Blind Transfer. To be sure that you're doing an ATTENDED transfer you need to check your logs. If there is a SIP REFER in your logs, it's a blind transfer. Also, if A is billed for the call to C, it's a blind transfer. -- Bjorn -----Original Message----- From: Nabeel Jafferali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2006 3:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [on-asterisk] blind vs. announced transfer > When you hit the TRANSFER-button on the GXP-2000, it can do an > attended or blind transfer (a.k.a.

It requires you place the call on hold, call the 3rd party, let them know of the soon-to-be-transferred call, hang up, pick up the first call and then blind-transfer it. Compare that to the snom, which allows to you to press attended-transfer, call the 3rd party, let them know of the call, and hangup at which point they are connected. In fact, even if you are in a 3-way conference, you have the option to connect the two remote callers when you hang up.
