Abstract
Method, device, and system being performed by a first station. The method includes receiving a first call identification of a first communication session between the first station and a second station. The method further includes receiving a request, from a third station, to allow the first communication session to be transferred from the first station to the third station. Following the receipt of the request, the method includes displaying a prompt on the first station for permission to allow the first communication session to be transferred to the third station and, when the permission is received, transmitting a response, to the third station, granting permission to transfer the first communication session from the first station to the third station. Additionally, upon the call being transferred, an advisory, such as an audio or visual message, may alert the second client station of the call transfer event.
