Transfer Calls on Your Fanvil Phone

Transfer Calls on Your Fanvil Phone

Transfer a Call

While you are handling a call, you may find it necessary to send your caller to a different destination.
There are four different ways you can transfer calls to users:

  1. Blind Transferring
  2. Attended Transferring
  3. Semi-Attended Transferring
  4. Transferring to Voicemail (for internal users)

Perform a Blind Transfer

If you need to transfer call to someone else, you have the option to send the call straight to that other person without speaking to them using a blind transfer.

To perform a blind, or cold, transfer…

  1. In an active call, press the Xfer soft-menu key.
  2. Dial the extension or phone number of the person to transfer the call to and press the Xfer soft-menu key.

Perform an Attended Transfer

If you would like to speak with the person you will be transferring a call to, you can use an attended transfer. 

To perform an attended, or warm, transfer…

  1. In an active call, press the Xfer soft-menu key.
  2. Dial the extension or phone number of the person to transfer the call to and press the Dial soft-menu key.
  3. Once the other person answers the call, you can speak to the third-party and swap between calls. 
  4. Once the call is ready to be completely transferred, press the Xfer soft-menu key again.

Perform a Semi-Attended Transfer

When you are performing an attended transfer, you may find that person you are attempting to transfer a call to is unavailable. When the person taking the transfer is unavailable, you can do a semi-attended transfer by sending the caller “blindly” to the other party's mailbox or forwarding destination.

To perform a semi-attended transfer…

  1. In an active call, press the Xfer soft-menu key.
  2. Dial the extension or phone number of the person to transfer the call to and press the Dial soft-menu key.
  3. When the person you are transferring to is unavailable, press the Xfer soft-menu key again to send the caller alone to where that person's calls go when unanswered.

Transfer to a User's Voicemailbox

During an active call, you can transfer a caller to another user's voicemailbox. This can be useful when you know that user is out of the office, or if the caller only wants to leave that user a voicemail.

To transfer a call to the voicemailbox of an internal user…

  1. In an active call, press the Xfer soft-menu key.
  2. Dial the mailbox code set for your account and press the Xfer soft-menu key.
    • For Primecall users, dial 03 and the extension number of the user.
    • For Enswitch users, dial the feature code associated with the mailbox.

      Quick Tip: Most accounts use 1+EXT (e.g., 1103 for dialing extension 103's mailbox) as the code for dialing into the mailboxes of other users.
