# Basic 3CX Communication Features You Should Master

Ever been confused about how to transfer a call to a coworker? Or still mixing up **Hold** and **Mute**? Don't worry, that's totally normal when you're just getting started with 3CX. To help you work more smoothly, let's go over the 5 basic communication features you'll use every day.

## 1. Call Transfer

Call transfer is used when you want to forward a call to someone else. In 3CX, there are two types of transfer you should know about.

### Attended Transfer

With an Attended Transfer, you speak to your coworker first before the call gets forwarded.

**Good to use when:**

- You want to make sure your coworker is actually available.
- You want to explain who's calling first.
- You want to avoid the customer being connected to the wrong person.

**In short:** *Confirm first, then transfer.*

### Blind Transfer

With a Blind Transfer, the call is forwarded immediately without confirming with the receiver first.

**Good to use when:**

- You already know where the call should go.
- You want a faster process.
- The receiver is always ready to take the call.

**In short:** *Transfer right away, no small talk.*

## 2. Hold

Need a moment to pull up customer data or ask a coworker something?

Just click **Hold**.

While this feature is active, the customer waits until you come back to the call.

**For example:**

> "One moment please, let me check that for you."

## 3. Mute

Mute is used to turn off your microphone.

So the customer is still on the call, but they can't hear any sound from your end.

**Usually used when:**

- There's noise around you.
- You need to quickly discuss something with a coworker.
- You cough or sneeze while on the call.

**Remember!**

- **Hold** = the customer waits.
- **Mute** = the customer stays on the call, but can't hear you.

## 4. Conference Call

Need to talk with several people at once in a single call?

Use **Conference Call**.

With this feature, you can bring coworkers or other customers together into the same call.

**Benefits:**

- More practical meetings.
- Faster discussions.
- No need to call people one by one.

## 5. Voicemail

If you miss a call, don't worry.

3CX has a **Voicemail** feature — a voice message left behind by the caller.

So even if you're busy or offline, you can still listen to important messages whenever you're free.

## Wrapping Up

Mastering 3CX's basic communication features isn't actually hard. Once you're comfortable using **Transfer**, **Hold**, **Mute**, **Conference Call**, and **Voicemail**, your work gets faster, communication gets tidier, and customers get a better experience.

Start using these features every day, and see the difference for yourself!
