Transferring a Call on a Shoretel Phone

Body

You can transfer a call in two ways:

    • Hang up.

The call is transferred to the designated number.

    Note: If you want to cancel the transfer before the other party answers the call, press the Cancel soft key or take the original call off hold.
  3. After the other party answers the call, do one of the following:
    • To complete the transfer, press the Yes soft key.
    • To cancel the transfer, press the Cancel soft key.
