[Asterisk-Users] How to transfer a call??

[Steven Critchfield]

If you search the archives you would find that for IP phone you need to
add a 't' option to the end of your dial command. The 't' option will
let the user dial '#' to get the systems attention, then dial an
extention for the transfer.
