Once you are connected to someone through the Halloo system, you have the ability to place the other party on hold, transfer them to another extension, or add additional parties to the call. There are several ways to transfer a live call to another person:
To begin a call transfer, tell the person on the line that you are putting them on hold. Then press:
![]()
— (pound 4)
You will hear instructions on how to dial another party. From here, dial:
to reach another (2-digit) extension in your company, or![]()
<ext.> — (star 9 x x)
<area-code> <number>
to connect to a phone outside your company. If you do not need to speak with the new party, simply hang up now. This is known as a blind transfer, and the person on hold will be connected with the newly dialed number, whether it’s ringing, busy or answered.
Alternatively, you may remain on the line until the dialed party answers. This is known as a consultative transfer. You may speak with the new party privately to introduce the call. After introducing the transfer, hang up to leave the call and join the remaining parties together, or press
![]()
— (pound 4)
again to complete the transfer. You will be disconnected from the call.
If you reach a busy signal or an answering machine, you may drop the new call by dialing:
![]()
— (pound 6)
You will return to your original party.
