This Help article is for Cisco Desk Phone 9800 Series and Cisco Video Phone 8875 registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM).

Call Transfer allows you to move an active call to another person, with the flexibility to choose how the transfer is handled. You can either consult the recipient before completing the transfer to ensure availability and provide context, or perform a direct transfer to quickly pass the call along.

When you transfer the call, the current call is put on hold. The call ends on your phone after you transfer it.

1

On an active call, press the Transfer key or More (…) > Transfer.

Select the person that you want to transfer the call to. Do one of the following actions as needed:

  • To transfer the call to a contact, select Favorites or Directories, locate the person, then select Call.
  • To transfer the call to someone from the call history, select Recents, locate the person, then select Call.
  • To transfer the call to an on-hold call, select Calls to open the list, then select the desired call and select Transfer to complete the transfer.

    The Calls tab appears only when there are on-hold calls on the phone.

  • To transfer the call to a speed dial contact, press Speed dial and select the desired contact.

    The speed dial list displays both basic speed dials and BLF with speed dials. In the list, the BLF with speed dials work as basic speed dials and don't show the monitored line status.
