I want to transfer (not call forward) a call!

[natewillsheets]

Hi Everyone:

I am having trouble googling this as all of the results tend to be about call forwarding rather than transferring a call.

Basically, here is my need: I prefer talking on my land line to my cell phone. If I am sitting at my desk, I would like to be able to receive a call on my mobile, say, "Hey hold on a sec", use an app (or some other magical way) to transfer the call to my land line phone number (which is different than my mobile number, obviously).

Any ideas on how this can happen either through Android, an app, or Sprint?

Thanks so much! :-D

Transferring to me means 2 different extensions on the same switchboard. Your 2 phones are on different networks. I can't see any way that's possible - forwarding is the closest I think you can do.

Hmmm, if I were doing this from my office landline (rather than my mobile), I can transfer a call to literally any phone number. I am holding out hope

That's call forwarding. Hadron is correct about the term "transfer".

Sorry but that's just not going to happen.

hstroph: Call forwarding, from what I understand (at least with mobiles) is automatically forwarding all incoming calls to another phone number. When I am talking about "transferring", I mean a call that I answered and then sending it to another number. The terms may change depending on the context, so hopefully I am at least clear with what I'm desiring.

It doesn't matter whether the call is incoming or in progress, "another number" from what the caller dialed is call forwarding. Your semantics won't change that.

Well, to me (and for the purposes of this thread) there rather a significant difference, despite the technical terms for each. So hopefully my explanations are at least clear.
