After hearing episode 101 I tried the doing a call transfer on my asterisk system using the Xten Lite softphone. But the lite version has call transfer disabled.

But I found you can get around this. In the extentions.conf file change the extention of the phone to read something like: The t option allows you to do a call Transfer using #. So during a call press # dial the extention to be transferred to then press # again.

Here's a page with some more dial command options:

Edit:
My bad. You have to apply that to your outgoing line in the extentions file.

For example: "T" is supposed to mean "Allow the calling user to transfer the call".

Tried this, it's not working though.

Actually, I did get it working. Only with asterisk @home 1.1 it only works with incoming calls, not outbound calls. Now the question is, is this feature important enough to move to the latest version?

Try it with the options "tT". I keep getting mixed up with those.

According to the options so that line would read I'm not sure how that would apply to asterisk @ home. I set those in the extentions.conf file. Maybe you can edit it directly.
