To resolve the issue where your Voice AI agent says it's transferring but the human phone does not ring, ensure your transfer tool includes the required
destination
parameter and that your SIP trunk supports SIP REFER.
Here’s an example configuration for your transfer tool’s parameters:
Copy code
json
"parameters": {
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "destination": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["+1234567890"], // Replace with your external number in E.164 format
      "description": "The destination to transfer the call to."
    }
  },
  "required": ["destination"]
}
Update your tool with this parameter and verify SIP REFER is enabled with your provider for successful call transfers ([Vapi documentation: call forwarding](https://docs.vapi.ai/call-forwarding)).
