It starts out as a regular call to another person, Asterisk doesn't know it's actually a transfer. Then when the transfer actually happens the phone says "hey, this call I have up over here to you... it's replacing this other call". Call flow: Call #1 Phone A ---> Asterisk ---> Phone B (Phone A performs attended transfer) Phone B is put on hold. Call #2 Phone A ---> Asterisk ---> Phone C (Phone A transfers Phone B to Phone C) Transfer "Hey Asterisk, this call with ID 4653456sdfgawe45 I have up to Phone B... it's replacing this call adsf8wet I have up to Phone C -- they should be talking to eachother" Phone B ---> Asterisk ---> Phone C Phone A disappears out of both calls. With a blind transfer the phone can simply say hey channel... this is your new extension and context.
