Hello Retell team,
I experienced a serious issue with the call transfer functionality while testing my voice agent for a client.
I configured the call transfer using SIP INVITE and set the destination number to the client’s phone number. However, during real calls, the transfer did not go to the configured number, but instead it was redirected to a completely different client.
This caused a major problem because the client noticed the issue during testing and unfortunately I lost the customer due to this incident.
I would like to understand:
How it is possible that a SIP INVITE transfer redirects to a different number than the one configured.
If there are known issues with SIP INVITE transfers in the current Retell setup.
Whether there are best practices or safer ways to configure transfers (for example via phone number transfer instead of SIP).
If there are logs available to verify exactly where the call was sent.
This is a critical feature for my product because I am deploying AI voice agents for clients, and incorrect transfers can seriously damage client trust.
Could you please help me investigate what happened?
