Hi,
how can I transfer a not yet answered call?
Suppose you have a secretary and you want her to call someone for you
(seems to be very common if you have a secretary Smile ).
She calls person A then in some way she has to connect the called person
A with another person B (the person who order to call, for example you).
How can it be done?

Thank you!

Giorgio.

The title of your post contradicts the body. If you want to
accomplish the body, the receptionist just need to transfer the call
after the called party answers.

As for the posting title, I have never tried to transfer a call that
was in a ringing state on Asterisk. It works on many other systems
though. Have you tried it?

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

...we do this all the time -- transfering a ringing channel.
Take a look at AMI Redirect.

Never tried it on outbound calls, but it should work.

Look up "blind transfer" "supervised transfer" and "attended transfer"
on voip-info.org, the Asterisk book.

Hi Ex Vito,

I took a look at some wiki pages about the command you suggest but the
redirection seems to be possible with bridged calls only (for example
two calls to a conference room).
I tried to do it with the .call file but it is like a blind call while
the secretary needs to hear the available tone of the called phone
before redirecting the ringing channel to the boss phone so I abandoned
this method.

Moreover...how can your secretary transfer a ringing channel to you? I
made some tests with my SIP hard-phone but it is not possible to use *7,
# or the transfer button on the phone when calling. How can you
secretary (if you are so lucky to have one!) to transfer with her phone?

Giorgio

We do it with ringing channels... Essentially we have an app that
connects to AMI and monitors activity:

- Tracks channels (which, by config, are associated to extensions)
- It knows who is calling who
- Who is talking to who
- etc

It then is integrated with a destkop applet that allows the user
some actions over the calls, IDs your callers from within your
outlook contacts, etc.

When your phone rings the applet pops up and one can clicks
on a button, for example, to xfer the incoming call to another
extension -- this is done via AMI redirect.

(see above -- we don't do it via phone actions, it's all via AMI)
