Transfer Calls 

Note:

   When transferring calls to or from a Polycom phone, in some scenarios the Caller ID will show as your ID 

instead of that of the original call. 

The method for transferring a call will vary, depending upon your intent: 

 

When transferring a call to a live person and you want to introduce the call before switching it over, use what is 

commonly referred to as a 

Supervised transfer

 

In all other scenarios, we recommend that you perform a 

Blind transfer

 instead of a Supervised transfer. This 

includes transfers to Workgroup queues, voicemail systems, and so on.
