The text delves into various methods of call transferring and forwarding, highlighting their differences and applications using Bandwidth's Dashboard and APIs. It begins by defining a transfer as the routing of a call to another number after being answered, contrasting it with call forwarding, which redirects a call before being answered. The document explains the simplest form of call forwarding using Bandwidth's Dashboard or Numbers API, which is beneficial for SEO and ad tracking. It then explores more advanced methods via Bandwidth’s Voice API using BXML, such as the <Forward> verb that offers real-time call analytics and flexibility in setting call forwarding numbers, and the <Transfer> verb that supports advanced use cases like IVR call routing and simultaneous ringing. The <Bridge> verb allows control over both legs of a call, enabling functionalities like sim ring without prioritizing the first answer, and supports actions like call surveys post-disconnection. Finally, the text discusses the <Conference> verb for calls with more than two participants, facilitating warm transfers where a calling party is introduced to another agent before the original party leaves, with an emphasis on the additional costs and implicit creation of conferences.
