If you are using a SIP phone then chances are that you don't need to use 
the "#" to do the transfer, you can use the SIP tranfer functionality 
that is built into the phone.. I think the "#" transfer was intended to 
be used with Analog phones that did you support flash..

I use the SIP transfer with the Snom and GS phones without any problems..

Later..
