Hey! @AI Evy I'm experiencing an issue where the end user is experiencing latency in the communication between themselves and the customer AFTER the call has been handed off via live transfer. I'm wondering if anyone else has faced this issue and has a potential solution. Thanks!

### Answer --- I don't have specific documentation about latency issues occurring after a call has been transferred to a live agent. The available sources primarily cover latency during the AI agent portion of the call (ASR, LLM, TTS processing) rather than post-transfer audio quality between two human parties. [(1) ]() Once a call is transferred, the audio path typically goes through your telephony provider's infrastructure rather than Retell's AI processing pipeline. Post-transfer latency could be related to: - Your SIP trunking provider's configuration - Network routing between carriers - The transfer type (warm vs cold) and how the telephony provider handles it [(2) ]() Suggestions: 1. Check if the latency occurs with both warm and cold transfers 2. Review your telephony provider's (Twilio, Telnyx, Vonage, etc.) configuration and network performance 3. Grab the
call_id
from a problematic call and review the latency metrics in the dashboard or via the [Get Call API]() to see if the issue is occurring before or after transfer [(3) ]() For this specific issue, I'd recommend reaching out to Retell support directly: - Visit [Contact Sales]() - Check [) Would you like me to provide a general answer about potential causes of post-transfer latency?
