  • Patent number: 6212264
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and process for transferring a call charge during call forwarding in a private branch exchange (PBX) system. A call connected to a first extension terminal is forwarded to a second extension terminal upon request for call forwarding from the first extension terminal. It is determined whether the first extension terminal requests for call charge transfer. Information about the call charge of the first extension terminal for the call during the time period from a call set-up to the call forwarding is shifted to a call charge buffer of the second extension terminal. Upon the call charge transferring request, it is determined whether the forwarded call is completed, and the call charge of the second extension terminal is outputted upon completion of the forwarded call.
