Transfer failed when trying to transfer a call

Hello,

We're having an issue with call transfers intermittently failing. This is only happening to 1 users phone. Is there any quick fix to this? I've already tried rebooting the phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

-Mario

@Comcast_Alyssa​ I am having this same issue with our receptionist's phone. Periodically, a "failed transfer" error occurs when my receptionist tries to transfer the call. Is there a solution to this problem? We have tried restarting the phone and different methods of transferring calls, but the same error occurs every few days.

Hey Alyssa,

I clicked your name but I don't see a "send a message" button on your profile.

Oh, no! Thank you for the feedback, that's definitely strange but let me see what I can do from here! To confirm, is this a cordless phone? Also, have you tried rebooting the modem?

It is a polycom IP phone. I've tried rebooting the phone. It's only happening to 1 of our phones.

Understood, thank you for clarifying that detail and sticking with me on this, @Mario_S. I can only imagine how frustrating this is for you, especially when it's impacting your business randomly. I'd like to run some troubleshooting steps together, but in order to do so, we'll need to meet in a private message. In order to get started can you please click the chat bubble in the top right corner and send a message to our "Comcast Business" handle?

We are having the same issue with our receptionist's phone. Is there a solution? We have already tried restarting the phone multiple times.

Hello @user_dccc8f , I'm bummed to hear of your service issues with the phone. I'm happy to investigate what is going on. To clarify are all phones having an issue or just the receptionist?

I cannot say definitively because normal users rarely transfer calls. However, the receptionist has infrequent, but noticeable, trouble transferring calls to all users.

I reset the phones by pressing 103 simultaneously.

@user_dccc8f Do you know what type of transfer is being done?

 

Consultative (warm) transfer: You announce the call to the recipient prior to transferring the call. It also allows you to provide key details to the recipient before the call is connected. Once you transfer the call, all three parties can speak together or you can end the call on your phone without disconnecting the transferred parties. This is the default transfer type.

 

Blind (cold) transfer: Transfer a call to someone else without announcing the call first.

 

Direct-to-voicemail transfer: Transfer a call directly to another user's voicemail.

 

Is this happening on all types?
