For a phone to work with sipXecs, it must use REFER to execute
transfers.

Similarly, sipXecs assumes that any PSTN gateway can handle REFER.  (The
exception being gateways that are treated as ITSPs, that is, which are
accessed through sipXbridge.)

If a gateway doesn't handle REFER correctly, it won't work natively with
sipXecs, regardless of the phones that you're using.  Tell the
manufacturer that their product is deficient.
