How call transfer works

When you want to transfer a call to a contact on Skype, just click the Menu option on the active call window and select Transfer the call to and then either select one of the contacts shown or choose Someone else to search your contact list. Highlight the person you want to transfer the call to and click Transfer.

In the latest version of Skype you can also send a quick message to the person you are transferring the call to so you can let them know who they are going to be speaking with.
