Blind Transfers and Attended Transfers
If you have this service, you are able to transfer phone calls which you are currently
on. You may either do what is called an Attended Transfer or a Blind Transfer.
An attended transfer lets you talk to the person you are transferring the call to
prior to transferring them. The blind transfer will disconnect you immediately and
connect the call you were on to the number you dial.
In order to transfer a call, press the Flash button on your phone, or briefly hang-
up the phone (approximately 0.5 to 1 second). You will then hear a dial tone.
From here, you may then do an attended or blind transfer.
For an attended transfer, simply dial the number of the person you wish to transfer
to. When they pick up, you can tell them you are going to transfer a call. Then
press the Flash button again. This will join all three of you into a conference. You
may then hang up and the other two callers will be joined together.
For a blind transfer, dial
*98
before you dial the number you wish to transfer to.
It will give you another dial tone after dialing
*98
. Once you have entered the
number you wish to transfer to, it will disconnect your call and the person you
were speaking with will hear the phone ringing.
