How do I transfer a call?

Transferring calls is easy; there are two types of call transfers you can perform: blind and attended. 

Which should I use: Blind or Attended Call Transfers? 

There are two kinds of call transfers you can perform. 

Blind Transfer
The call is transferred directly to the recipient without any interaction or introduction. The transferor doesn't confirm if the recipient is available, making this ideal when no preliminary information is needed.

Attended Transfer
The transferor connects with the recipient first to introduce the call. If the recipient agrees, the transfer is completed; otherwise, it can be cancelled. Use this when the recipient needs to be informed, or the call requires an introduction.

The default transfer type is Attended. 

To change the default transfer type, please contact our Technical Support Team by dialling 611 from your net2phone Canada device or by calling 1-877-498-3772 and choosing option #3. Emails will be responded to within 1 business day and can be sent to support@net2phone.ca.
