Choose from the following: 

  • Choose either the dialpad or keyboard, enter the number or the name of the person who you want to transfer the phone call to. Then, choose one of the following options: 

    • Consult first—chat with the person on the receiving end of the transfer first. If you searched for someone by name, choose their mobile or work number. 
      Then, tap Complete transfer or tap Resume to go back to the first call. 

    • Transfer now (also known as blind transfer)—transfer the call right away with audio only. If you searched for someone by name, choose their mobile or work number to complete the transfer. 

  • If you already have an existing ongoing active call that you want to transfer to  

Tap the call in your Ongoing calls list and then tap Transfer to transfer the call right away with audio only. 

 

Forwarding Calls

If you're going to be away from your desk but don't want to miss an important phone call, you can forward your calls to another phone number. Or, if you don't want to be interrupted, you can send all your calls to voicemail instead. If you forward your calls to another number, you won't get called in Webex App anymore. So, be sure to turn call forwarding off when you're ready to take calls in the app again.
