Hi.
I am wondering if there is a way to not have to do a transfer of calls
if say company a is on ATT and company b is on Sprint. From what I
understand now we have to conference people in if calls get transferred
and then drop off. Obviously this is expensive. I have been told that
we need to bring in the same carrier as the other company in order to
prevent this. It seems like we also have to burn a trunk each time we
do this transfer if we don't bring in another carrier.
Do *NOT* be surprised if you _still_ have to burn the additional trunk
even if they're on the same carrier.
I posted a similiar thread earlier and some people mentioned Centrex as
an option (although implied kludgey?) and/or softswitching the calls?
It seems to me that there must be some option to transfer between
carriers...Simply because it seems that if a company had to provision a
new pri with the carrier the other company has seems just way too
rudimentary for today's world...
All things are "in theory" possible.
This is one that runs afoul of 'reality'. sometimes spelled "G R E E D".
Company A is getting money for every minute that that call is terminated
at _your_ number.
*why* should they let you switch that 'in progress' call to "some other
carrier", whereby they no longer get that slice of the revenues?
Suppose the call _originated_ from one customer of carrier B, and now
you're trying to transfer it to a _different_ customer of Carrier B.
Carrier A has to either burn two of _their_ trunks to B, or drop off the
call entirely (losing *any* revenue from the remainder of the call).
On the other hand, if they make you use two of _your_ trunks, they have
the call termination revenue from the incoming call _and_ the revenue from
your outgoing call to the final destination.
Guess which of the three scenarios makes more money for the carrier.
Guess why they don't offer the others as alternatives. <wry grin>
