Easily Connect Customers to the Right Team with Call Transfers
Avoid making callers repeat themselves or call back due to misdirected calls or unavailable support. DialLink's cloud phone system offers both cold and warm call transfers, allowing you to quickly route incoming calls to the right teammate or department, either instantly or with helpful context, so every caller gets the support they need the first time.
Ensure faster, more effective call resolution
When a customer needs the right person to resolve their issue, call transfers let you seamlessly redirect active calls to the right team or department. This speeds up resolution time, improves customer satisfaction, and shows your commitment to responsive service.
Transfer calls smoothly with context
Avoid making customers repeat themselves. With warm transfer, you can place the caller on hold while briefing the next agent, ensuring they're fully informed before the conversation continues. Chat internally as needed to ensure a smooth, helpful handoff every time.
Reduce customer wait time with cold transfer
Quickly route calls to the right teammate without putting the caller on hold. Ideal for simple issues or misdirected calls, cold transfer skips the handoff briefing and gets customers help faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between call transfer and call forwarding?
Call transfer is when you redirect a live call to another person or department, either immediately or after speaking to them first. Call forwarding automatically redirects all incoming calls to another number, like when you're unavailable or out of office. It's a passive, rule-based setup, while transfers happen during an active call.
What is difference between cold and warm call transfer?
A cold transfer passes the caller directly to another teammate without prior communication or context. A warm transfer places the caller on hold while you first speak to the receiving teammate, sharing key details so they're prepared when the caller is connected. Warm transfers are better for complex issues or high-value conversations.
When should I use cold transfer or warm transfer?
Use cold transfers when the call is simple (e.g., wrong department) and no explanation is needed. Choose warm transfers for support or sales calls where context matters, like when a customer is frustrated or has already shared sensitive information.
