Transfer mobile call back to desktop phone

[accelerated]

I was going to post this in the feature request but it is currently locked.

I currently have my mobile phone ring simultaneously with my desktop phone when I'm in the office.

There should be an option to switch from the call on your mobile back to your desktop phone.

Is this something that is currently available?

Thanks!

Probably not.

Once a call has been answered (accepted ,in the case of rebound), by a mobile, at this point, there is really no way to do a transfer back. 3CX would have to be constantly monitoring for a DTMF signal (the only way to activate a feature), for the duration of the call.

This opens the possibility of inadvertently activating something when you used DTMF for some other function, at the other end of your call. Your voice can also be mistaken for a DTMF tone as happens when using an ATA (talk-over, I believe it's called).

If you put the 3CX phone on your mobile, used that to answer a call, then you could transfer it back.

I second that. One of the "big" improvements of V12 - IMHO, the by now very useful smart phone clients. Once you have push notification set up, and firewall for when your out of the office, there is really no need to ring mobile simultaneous any more. 3CX supports SIP forking, so why not have your extension number on your deskphone and mobile client.

You can try the service which is available in v12:
http://www.3cx.com/blog/extension-user-manual/dial-codes/
Chapter - Mobile Agent Service (V12 or later)
(at the end of article)
if all conditions are met and your extension is, for example, 100 - then, enter
*82#100#
Your your desktop phone (extension 100) will start to ring.
To get more reliable result - set your extension to allow more then one call simultaneously.

Please don't hesitate to report issues or suggest improvements.

Thanks

The cell phone needs to initiate the transfer back...
and is available only in Call Center Edition or Pro Edition.
