Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
It was great to hear you as well, will try to be a regular. :)<br>
<br>
I use a Polycom and it does have all the capabilities I need, but I wanted to have the PBX side working for a couple of scenarios where I thought I might need it.<br>
E.g.: pick up a call on your cellphone, walk into the office, att_xfer the call from your cell to your desk and continue the conversation. The reason of using att_xfer is to make sure to release the call when the line is properly established and prevent calls from landing in voicemail inadvertently.<br>
<br>
And on a final note, I never had any issue transferring calls from my SIP phones, but for some reason I find the Polycom way somewhat cumbersome and repelling.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Emrah<br>

> What kind of phone are you using? The reason I ask is that most desk phones have real transfer keys that do all of this. If you're stuck using something like x-lite then yeah, I can see the dilemma. In all honesty, the att_xfer app wasn't designed as the be all end all of call transfers. If you are in a scenario where your only option is to use att_xfer then I recommend solving that problem. In the long run it will be much better for you.<br>
