How do I transfer a call? What is the difference between a warm transfer and cold transfer?

A warm transfer (also known as a consultative transfer) is when you speak with the transfer recipient to let them know you are transferring a call prior to sending the call; a cold transfer (also known as a blind transfer) is when you transfer the call without speaking with the transfer recipient.

Note: the four buttons below the display are softkeys; their function changes depending on the situation.
