Anonymous Posted on Jun 07, 2011

I have an AT&T 958 speakerphone. I need to transfer a call to another number so I press flash then dial the number. But, when i press flash again to connect the 2 calls, I too am connected and its a three way call. Do you know how to hang up on the transfer without hanging up on the first caller?

This is a standard phone so I'm assuming you're using this in a home or small office, connected direct to a regular phone line, and that you're using calling services from your phone service provider. 3-way calling works as you describe: you press flash to get dialtone again, call the other party, then press flash again to connect the two so all three of you can talk. The point is that this is 3-way calling, not a forwarding or transfer function. You can't transfer a call to another number this way. Since you initiated the 3-way call, the connection requires you to be there; when you hang up the connection between the other two parties is broken.

Your line may also have call-forwarding, which lets you program a number that calls to your line will reach if you're away (an alternative to using voicemail or an answering machine and needing to check messages). But this doesn't allow you to transfer a current call to another number, only incoming calls.

The only way you can transfer a call is when you have the switching equipment (an office phone system, for example) at your location, and have at least two outside phone lines available. Then the system would allow your phone to disconnect, and still maintain the connection between the other parties. But both of the phone lines would remain tied up until the other parties hung up, and if you only had two lines you'd be unable to receive or make any other calls.

Residential customers with a single phone line don't have any option to transfer calls.

    What if I want to hang up on the second call but go back to the first call without hanging up on them?

  • Anonymous Jun 08, 2011

    Just tell that person to hang up. They'll disconnect from the call and you'll still be connected to the first person. (This would also work if the first person you called hangs up. You'd still be connected to the second person you called. But it only works as long as you're still on the call.)

How to dial a number on Xdect8355

If you want to make a call using the landline, first make sure that the phone is in standby and not ringing with an incoming call. Press Speaker or Home/Flash on the handset. (Both are on the left side of the handset; the speaker key is closer to the LCD screen.) Alternatively, press Home/Speakerphone on the base. Then dial the number, including the area code as needed. When you use the Speaker key, the entire call will be on the speakerphone. When done with the call press End/Clear (on the right side of the arrow keys, opposite the Home/Flash key).

This is described in the manual as the features of the keys on the base and the handset are described. The manual is available on the product page: https://www.uniden.com.au/product/xdect-8355-2/ . The current link to the manual is https://www.uniden.com.au/wp-content/uploads/OM_XDECT_8355.pdf .

I hope this helps.

If you have paired the phone to two cell phones, you will be prompted to indicate which mobile device you want to use for the out-going call.)

I cannot send fax

Hi there!



For you to send a fax with the Brother Fax you can try these steps:

1. First make sure that you have a dial tone by lifting the handset or just by pressing the hook/speakerphone button. Once you have verified you have a dial tone press the hook button again to return to the main screen or hang up the handset. LCD should display the date & time



If you don't have a dial tone make sure that the telephone line cord is connected on the fax machine's Line jack. If you don't have a dial tone still, connect it to another working outlet. If you don't have a dial tone still, connect a working telephone on the wall jack to see if you'll get a dial tone. If you get a dial tone on the regular phone then problem is either with the line cord or the fax machine.



2. Once you have the date & time on the LCD screen, Load the document that you want to send on the automatic document feeder which is directly above the LCD screen.



3. The LCD screen should change from the date/time to "Enter Fax No. & Press Start" Once you got this screen dial the fax number and then press Start.



Hope this helps. Rate if it works.

Thanks!

Can I transfer the incoming calls to a different number

The best way is to use the Flash button. You will have to have Call Transfer on each phone line you have with your phone company to do this.

So when you have a caller tell them you will transfer them, press the Flash button and you should hear a new dial tone. Dial the number you are transferring to then hang up or press the Flash button again to conference the three of you.

This is better than conferencing two calls together because as soon as you hang up your line is open again. If you conference two calls two lines will be tied up for one call.
