The service is accessed by the called person (recipient) pressing a key defined in the Call Divert or Group Divert service that handled the diverted call. At this point the caller is put on hold and a menu is played to the operator, allowing them to select the service to transfer the caller to.

Caller Holding Prompt
This is played to the caller whilst the operator is dealing with the call
transfer. The message is played, followed by the music, in a continuous
loop.
Menu Options Prompt
This is the menu played to the operator and should contain instructions
to them as to what they should press to invoke the various options available.
There are some options that are always available to the operator. These are:
ability to transfer a call to a number.
ability to transfer a call to a preset extension number.
In either case the operator would press the a key to place the caller on hold (defined in the respective diversion service).
When presented with the Call Transfer Operator menu pressing the * key will allow them to enter the number to transfer the call to.
The number should be entered as either an extension number or a full dialling code (include 00+country code if dialling outside of the UK) and the number should be terminated by pressing the * key again.
Once the operator press the * key for the second time the system will initiate the call to the selected destination.
