This has to be the most frequently asked question about phones!
There are two main ways to transfer a call: attended or blind.
An attended transfer is where you put the existing call on hold and dial another extension. When they answer, you ask them if they want the call and then hang up, putting the call through to them.
A blind transfer is where you simply dump the call on that extension whether they want it or not. It sounds a bit rude but if you’re really busy you may not want to hang around waiting for them to pick up the call.
Here’s how you do both transfers on a Grandstream GXP2130 starting with blind because it’s simplest!
