The SIP service provider must support forwarding in-dialog REFER
messages, as well as allowing the Referred-By and Refer-To headers in
INVITE requests for call transfer to work.
If you see Blink displaying 'trying' and not moving forward with the
call transfer is most likely that the REFER message was not delivered to
the destination or the destination doesn't know how to handle it, but a
SIP trace is needed to confirm what actually happened.
If this call was with a PSTN number and you attempted to transfer that,
it's very likely to fail as no SIP-to-PSTN gateway I know of implements
call transfer functionality.
You need both SIP endpoints to support call transfer and a SIP provider
that does forward in-dialog messages correctly for this to work.
