Transfer tone while on call?

Not sure if this is more of a handset manufacture area or PBX, I will try both.

 

Using Yealink T46's, spent a while going though all their settings cant find any thing for it, but it goes like this.

 

For simplicity and speed this is the most used transfer type with customers.

 

A = External

B = Internal (i.e Reception)

C = Internal (other desk phone)

 

A calls into B wants to speak to C

B calls C putting A on hold (using BLF button)

B & C are talking B transfers A while in call using transfer soft key.

A is connected with C

 

If C is not paying attention they wont know A has been connected as its a silent connection, is there a way for some tone here? a quick beep?.

 

The work around is B ends the call to C and does a blind transfer but this adds a few more button presses and is less 'smooth'

 

Should I approach yealink for this?

 

Fairly sure the same was true on snom handsets as well.

Hmm you mean for the attended transfer there should be another announcement tone? Has this been done before? I don't think there is much the handset can do; the PBX just sends a Re-INVITE with the changed Caller-ID (and the possibility to re-negotiate the coded), but the media stream just cuts over from one packet to another.

 

The purpose of the consultation call is to make sure that C knows who he will talk to. We could say a "putting you through" before the media from A gets connected to C, but our impression so far was that B would say that anyway.

Yeah you have the jist, could some thing be done on the re-invite part?

 

The main thing I think is just old people set in their ways. But they all tell me when I come in a day or so after doing a deployment to do some training that some kind of 'tone' at that point would be nice.

 

Some say their old physical PABX's they had did it, some don't, about 50/50.
