There is an even simpler solution: Don't make phone calls. ;->

Seriously, I think the poster _requires_ transfers in the first place, so 
this your reply won't help him too much. 

Instead I'd go for a co-located Asterisk that the remote SIP devices 
register with, and then link both * boxes (co-located and central office) 
using IAX2 with IAX native transfers enabled. Of course this means that 
the office * _only_ talks IAX and that all calls to the remote SIP 
clients _always_ go thru the co-located box (with its extra bandwidth).

SER certainly is another way to go (as mentioned before), but in this 
specific setup I assume it complicates matters unnecessarily.

Cheers, Philipp
