Re: [ViaTalk] Call Transfer works!
Why not use your ATA for these features? For example, if you have a PAP2, flash then * 99 then the number will do an attended transfer. Flash then *98 then the number will do a blind transfer. I have found the ATA to be the most reliable method for using features like transfer. |

Andover, NJ | I did not know about the *99/*98 feature!Thanks!
Is there a list somewhere that details any other PAP2 features?

| I have the PAP2-NA model (as supplied by ViaTalk). Googling gets me lots of links to the Linksys PAP2-NA PDF manual but this manual does not mention any *NN codes. All it talks about are the * codes for the IVR feature.
Have not asked ViaTalk for my admin password yet so I can't log in to the configuration section to see what is there. Can only see the user menus.

The unattended transfer feature worked (*98), but the attended transfer on my TA (SPA-2100, BYOD) gave me a reorder tone. I can double-check, but I don't believe I disabled that feature in my TA when I programmed in the VT creds. |

What is an attended transfer, blind transfer?
I'm wondering if this is possible before I go out and purchase a new phone system with intercom. I have a 2 story house and spend quite a bit of time upstairs, could I use the call transfer or something similar as some sort of intercom? Tried calling my own number but of course that doesn't work. |

| you don't have to buy a telephone system to make an intercom in the house. The Nuvio nPBX system, typically sold to businesses, will do intercom when used with the Polycom IP 501 phone sets. Each phone would have its own VM and internal extension number. The phones are roughly $220 each to purchase, and the monthly subscription is roughly $45/month per phone. It's priced appropriate for business (and has many business features such as auto attendant), and might not be appropriate for your needs especially if you have lots of phones (each phone would have to plug in to a network connection and electricity), but internal intercom can be done with VOIP... |

Blind transfer is when someone calls you, you put them on hold, dial the number to which you're transferring them, and immediately transfer the call. Typically the person being transferred then hears the ringback from the new call. If the line is busy or the person isn't there, the original caller would have to deal with the consequences (leave message or hang up).
An attended transfer is when you put a caller on hold, dial the number you're transferring them to, and wait for the call to be answered. Typically, you'll say to the person who answers, "I'm transferring a call to you." When you release the line, the holding party is connected to the "new" call. In this case, if the line is busy or you get dumped to voicemail, you'd return to the original call and disconnect the second call. |

RockBB thanks, but way beyond my needs  . Was thinking walkie talkie( but then I'd have another device on my desk), or get a set of those panasonics or unidens with built in intercom.
Fisamo, damn good explanation, very thorough thanks. |
