Difference Between "bridge" and "transfer"
What is the difference between "bridge" and "transfer"? I'm looking at the demo IVRs. Thanks, Jerry

bridge will connect two endpoints together while transfer sends the endpoint back through the dialplan again... -MC

which then can result in a bridge being called again.

Don't forget that the dialplan can be an endpoint too (via mod_loopback) :P. Andrew
Whilst on this subject, if I receive a call from PSTN and I 'bridge' it to another PSTN extension, will the PSTN Provider charge me for the 'b-leg' or will the original caller be charged the entire call? On 5 February 2010 02:32, Michael Collins <msc@freeswitch.org> wrote:

That depends... is the "other" leg an outbound call? Is the other leg an inbound call to a toll-free number? -MC
The incoming call is to a normal DID number, but I don't bridge to that internal extension instead to a normal external PSTN number. Will I then be charged for the b-leg? Thanks Costa On 5 February 2010 21:25, Michael Collins <msc@freeswitch.org> wrote:

Depends dos your provider charge you for outbound calls? Most do... so I suspect YES. /b On Feb 5, 2010, at 5:52 PM, Costa Zikalala wrote:

You are making the call on the b-leg. If you are normally charged for making a call, then you will be charged. A call is a call. It doesn't matter if your cousin is making the call, your grandmother is making the call or FS is making the call. It is all happening on your PSTN line. The telephone company doesn't care who is making the call. They only care that your line is being used to make a call. -- Russell Mosemann
This happens when most of my customers forward call from their sip phones to pstn extensions (mobile phones i.e.). FS will then bridge two pstn calls and hence you'll be charged for the b-leg call. Also, most likely is that you will not be able to present the original caller id of a-leg to the forwarded extension, because of pstn settings (inbound acls for clid on your line). There is a way on most ISDN lines to "deflect" call back to the telco switch with the forward extension information, so the switch can call the b-leg itself and properly present the original clid. FS then doesn't need to anything but to respond with the information. I'm pretty sure, though, that telco will charge you for that second call, also.
