HOW TO DO ATTENDED TRANSFER
If your transfer needs to be announced or explained, or if you want to make sure that the person you are transferring to is able to answer before sending the call over, you can perform an attended transfer.
The way that you will perform an attended transfer depends on the type of phone you are using.
