Transferring Calls: Blind vs Attended Transfers

Transferring Calls: Blind vs Attended Transfers

NOTE: The transferring process detailed below should work regardless of the phone model; however, button location may differ depending on the phone's model.

What is the Difference?

Blind transferring is when you transfer a call to another destination without announcing the call. This call will ring directly to the destination after you transfer it. 

Attended transferring is the process of transferring a call to another destination but with a chance to speak with the Agent receiving the transfer. This allows you to give the destination some information regarding the call you are transferring them before they receive the call.

  2. Dial the destination you would like to transfer the call to. 
    • This can be an extension or an external phone number. 
  3. Press the "Transfer" or "B. Transfer" button to complete the transfer.
