A can holdon to the phoneand wait for oneof thethreefollowingbehaviors:
A quick confirmationtone (temporarilyusing thecall waiting indication tone) followed bya
dial tone. This indicates the transfer is successful (transferee has received a200 OK from
transfer target). At this point, A can either hang up or makeanother call.
A quick busytone followedby arestoredcall (on supported platforms only). This means the
transferee has received a 4xxresponse for theINVITE and we will try to recover the call. The
busy toneis just to indicatetothetransferor that the transfer has failed.
Busytone keeps playing. This means we have failed to receivethe second NOTIFY from the
transfereeanddecided to time out. Note: this does not indicatethe transfer has been
successful, nor does it indicatethe transfer has failed. When transfereeis a client that does not
support thesecond NOTIFY (such as our own earlier firmware),this will bethecase. In bad

successfully.
