To forward a phone call to another phone after you've started or during a conversation, you

typically have a few options depending on your phone and service provider:

1. Call Transfer (Warm Transfer):

o This feature allows you to transfer a call to another phone number while you're
already on the call.
o On many phones, you can initiate this by pressing a specific button labeled
"Transfer" or a similar option in your call menu.
o Here’s how you can do it:
▪ During the call, inform the person you're talking to that you need to
transfer them.
▪ Press the "Transfer" button on your phone.
▪ Dial the number you want to transfer the call to.
▪ Once the second person answers, you can introduce them to the caller or
explain the reason for the transfer.
▪ Press "Transfer" again to complete the transfer. Some systems may require
you to stay on the line to ensure the transfer completes successfully.
2. Call Forwarding:
o If you want to forward calls automatically to another number after you finish the
call or during, you can set up call forwarding on your phone.
o This can often be done through your phone settings or by contacting your service
provider.
o To set up call forwarding:
▪ Go to your phone's settings or dial *72 followed by the number you want
to forward calls to.
▪ After you hear the confirmation tone or message, hang up. All incoming
calls will now be forwarded to the designated number.
▪ To disable call forwarding, you can dial *73 or adjust the settings in your
phone.
3. Three-Way Calling:
o Some phones allow you to add a third person to the call without transferring the
call completely. This can be useful for conference calls or for introducing
someone else briefly.
o During the call, press the option on your phone to add another person (often
labeled as "Add Call" or similar).
o Dial the number of the person you want to add.
o Once they answer, you can talk together or introduce them to the current caller.

Make sure to check with your service provider or phone manual for specific instructions on how
to use these features, as they can vary slightly depending on your phone model and carrier.

Most modern smartphones, including both Android and iOS devices, support basic call transfer
functionality. However, the ability to perform a "Warm Transfer," where you can speak privately
with the person you're transferring the call to before completing the transfer, may vary depending
on the phone model and the specific software features provided by the manufacturer or carrier.
Here’s a general overview:

Android Phones:

Android smartphones typically support basic call transfer features. Here’s how you can generally
perform call transfer on Android:

1. During a Call:
o While on an active call, look for the "Merge" or "Add Call" option in your
phone’s call screen. This allows you to add another person to the call.
o Once the second person answers, you can speak privately with them if needed.
o To complete the transfer, you usually have options like "Merge" or "Merge calls"
to join all parties together.
2. Specific Models and Software Versions:
 o The exact steps and terminology may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer
(Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, etc.) and the version of Android running on
your device.
o Some carrier-specific versions of Android may have additional features or slight
variations in how call transfer is handled.

iOS (iPhone):

Apple iPhones also support basic call transfer features. Here’s how you can generally perform
call transfer on iOS:

1. During a Call:
o While on an active call, tap on "Add Call" option in the call screen.
o Dial the number you want to transfer the call to.
o Once the second person answers, you can speak privately with them if needed.
o To complete the transfer, tap on "Merge Calls" to join all parties together.
2. iOS Variations:
o The process is generally consistent across different iPhone models and iOS
versions, but it’s always a good idea to check with the latest iOS update for any
changes or improvements in call handling features.

Considerations:

• Carrier Features: Some carriers may have specific features or limitations regarding call
transfer, especially in terms of conference calling and the ability to manage multiple calls
simultaneously.
• Service Provider Support: If you’re unsure about the capabilities of your specific
smartphone model, it’s a good idea to consult your carrier’s support documentation or
customer service for guidance.

In summary, while most smartphones can handle basic call transfer, the ability to perform a
warm transfer (speaking privately with the transferee before completing the transfer) might vary
based on the device and software capabilities. Always check your phone’s user manual or
contact customer support for your carrier if you need assistance with specific features like warm
transfer.
