3. **SIP REFER Handling**: If you're using a SIP system, there might be issues with how it handles SIP REFER messages, which Vapi uses for transfers.
4. **Model Behavior**: The model might occasionally speak the VAPI tool call code instead of executing it (happens in approximately 20% of cases according to [user reports](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1331648945818177586)).
5. **Destination Number Issues**: Transfers can fail if the destination number is busy, out of reach, or if there are international calling restrictions.
### Debugging Steps
To troubleshoot this issue:
1. Review call logs for the failed transfer attempts to identify any error patterns
2. Check your assistant configuration, particularly if you have the "phone-call-control" server event enabled
3. Verify the format of your forwarding phone numbers
4. Test with different models - some users report that switching to GPT4o makes transfers more consistentVapi Support Bot
