Live/Current Call Transfer

[fishmister]

Is there a way to transfer your current call to another number with out hanging up?

Vonage allowed customers to push #90 and dial another number and the live call will ring the new number and transfer.

Is this feature available with Ooma? Will it be?

I think I read they were working on the ability to transfer calls to cell phones, so maybe that capability is coming.

you mean do a 3-party call?

No actually transfer a call to another number.

I have ooma office for our main office and an Ooma telo for our remote employees. The problem is that once they answer a call on the Ooma Telo they cannot transfer the call should they need to NOT professional. I cannot use another Ooma office because you cannot have the second device use the main number when dialing out....

This system is great but lacks features for a multi-location small business....

So where above it says "transfer your current call to another number without hanging up" this is referring to an attended transfer? (where you wait for the other party to answer and then hangup). Yes, only the Office product supports these types of PBX features. The residential product is designed for home use.

I cannot use another Ooma office because you cannot have the second device use the main number when dialing out....

If the offices share the same approximate address you can use an Office Expansion Base Unit.
