Hello VAPI Support Team,
We are currently facing a SIP call transfer issue when using the single prompt transfer call function with our Netgsm (Turkish phone provider) SIP trunk.
When we perform a call transfer via Workflows, everything works correctly. A REFER message is sent to Netgsm, and the call is successfully transferred.
However, when we try the same transfer from a single prompt, Netgsm only receives a BYE message instead of REFER, which causes the call to be dropped instead of being transferred.
We already confirmed this with Netgsm support:
Workflows → REFER sent → transfer works
Single prompt → BYE sent → call terminated
It seems like the single prompt transfer function does not generate the SIP REFER request, unlike the workflow transfer.
I am using the same transfer_call tool in both workflow and single prompt but i cannot forward the call in single prompt assitant
Could you please check this on your side and confirm whether this is a limitation or a configuration issue?
If possible, we need the single prompt transfer to behave the same way as workflow transfers (sending REFER instead of BYE).
Thanks for your support.
Best regards,
