VoipNow allows you to transfer incoming calls to other destination extensions or to voicemail. When a transfer to another extension using an incoming call rule occurs, the destination can issue a confirmation of the call. By using this method, the caller will be asked to introduce his name followed by # key. The destination extension will be notified about the caller's name and will be requested to press 0 to accept the call or 1 to reject the call.
