Call transfer system and method
First Claim
1. A method of transferring a call across networks of a transport system, the transport system capable of providing a connection between a communication node and first, second and third communication devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- connecting the first communication device to the communication node over a first network of the transport system;
connecting the second communication device with the first communication device;
in response to a command received over the first network, establishing a connection between the third communication device and the communication node over a second network of the transport system, the second network being different than the first network; and
connecting the second communication device to the third communication device.

25. A method of transferring a call comprising the steps of:
-
establishing a first communication channel over a first network with a first party;
establishing a second communication channel with a second party;
linking the first communication channel to the second communication channel so that the first and second party can communicate;
establishing a third communication channel over a second network with the first party without human operator assistance, the second network being different than the first network; and
linking the third communication channel to the to the first communication channel so that the first party can communicate with the second party over the second network.
