How do I transfer a call?

There are two types of call transfers you can perform, blind and attended. 

Which should I use: Blind or Attended Call Transfers? 

There are two kinds of call transfers you can perform. 

Blind Transfer
The call is transferred directly to the recipient without any interaction or introduction. The transferor doesn't confirm if the recipient is available, making this ideal when no preliminary information is needed.

Attended Transfer
The transferor connects with the recipient first to introduce the call. If the recipient agrees, the transfer is completed; if not, it can be canceled. Use this when the recipient needs to be informed or the call requires an introduction.
