call transfer question (Vonage)

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

I have a question about transferring a call with Vonage service.
If someone calls me locally, and I then transfer the call to a long distance
number and hang up. does the person that called me locally then have to pay
long distance since I'm no longer in the loop?

My guess it that it's still going through me so there should not be a
charge, but I need to be sure.

Is the call still going through voip after I transfer the call to another
number and then hang up?

Thanks....

No they do not. Their phone company is concerned only with what number
they terminated their call to (in this case your presumably-local
number). Since Vonage is still handling the call routing to the
long-distance leg of the call, your local caller's phone company is none
the wiser.

You are correct.
