[Asterisk-Users] Outbound Transfer and the # key

[mattf]

Anything would be an improvement over how we have to patch constantly to use
transfers now.

As for not having to send # more than transfer, not quite true in my case.
One of the companies that is is our building uses our system in a
semi-automated fashion to contact banks to verify funds available for
creation of customer accounts. They very often need to press # to navigate
financial IVR systems and often have to transfer their calls internally.

I can't add a comment to the bug tracker without logging in, and I
forget my login details....

anyway, I would suggest changing the patch to the opposite behaviour.
ie, single # is transfer, but double # means send a # to the remote.

This would mean that in the majority of cases, things don't change for
the end user, which might make it more likely for the patch to be
accepted??

Also, I think you are going to transfer a call more frequantly than you
will need to send # ...

Adam
