The SIP phone needs to be able to do supervised transfers.  Some phone, like
the Grandstream can only do blind transfers (using the transfer button.)
The only way around this is to use the "#" transfer capability of *.  (Using
the "t" option in the Dial application.)

Some SIP phones (like the Cisco 7960) can do both blind and supervised
transfers.

The supervised transfer is needed so you can hear what call parking slot
is used for your call.
