Anything that degrades network performance can affect phone audio and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:
-

Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack.
This product is not a medical device and uses an unlicensed frequency band that is susceptible to interference from other devices or equipment.
When the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Transfer On-Hook Enabled field is enabled, users might report a problem with direct call transfer in SIP phones. If the user transfers the call and immediately goes on hook before they hear the ring signal, the call may drop instead of being transferred.
The user needs to hear the ring signal so that they can be sure that the call is being routed.
