    You do realise, don't you, that sometimes they simply CAN'T transfer calls?

    I can understand that they put you in customer relations,your previous posts indicate that you are understanding not pushy and extrovert

  • i work in a call centre, if we try and transfer a call ,the in coming calls take priority over internal calls so its normally quicker to get the person to re-dial.
    Never take things for granted

    yes on an 0870 or 0845 number which generates revenue for the company,so you end up paying to complain
