[Asterisk-Users] Uniden consult transfer

[sean mai]

This is how they implemented it, you cannot get the caller back.
"Consultation transfer" allows you--the transfering party to talk to
the transfered-to party before hangup up then the call be transfered.
(Xfer+number+dial....then hangup)

Or "blind transfer" where after pressing Xfer and number, transfering
party can just hang up to have the call transfered.

I was told that future firmware release will have additional
capability where the
transfering party can cancel a transfer and switch back to the
transfered party. This would be useful in case when transfered-to
party doesn't want to talk to transfred party, and allows the
transferring party to resume conversation with caller (transfered
party)

It's not ... this question is specific to Uniden UIP200 (ie: I'm not 
referring to the *'s # transfer)

I'd like to know if it's possible to get the caller back after pressing 
the button labeled 'XFER' on the phone - which doubles a a 'Flash' 
button. The SIP call itself is not actually transfered by * until the 
UIP200 user hangs up the phone. Uniden just kind of implemented their 
flash & transfer functions in a weird way.
