About 5 years ago, I had residential Centrex from Pacific Bell (then
called Premiere 2/6 (it's now Commstar II, John?)).  It did NOT
provide call transfer.  If you invoked 3 way calling and then hung up,
all parties would be disconnected.  I don't know if there was a
difference just because it was residential service, though.

[Moderator's Note: And the first version of IBT's Starline likewise
did not offer this, but the later version allows transfer of a call to
anywhere -- on your premises or off-premises.   PT]
