13801: Refer not allowed on non-SIP call legs



ERROR: 13801

ERROR

The Refer verb is only allowed on SIP call legs, e.g. you can refer an incoming call to a Twilio SIP Domain or an outbound call to a SIP destination. Calls to or from other destinations, such as a phone number or Twilio Client cannot be referred.

Possible Causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • Your application attempted to invoke the Refer verb on a PSTN or Twilio Client call leg.
  • For more information on understanding what does and does not constitute a SIP call leg, please see Understanding SIP Call Legs.
  • While invoking Refer on a SIP leg is unique in that it removes Twilio from the call path, the effect of transferring a call to another party can be accomplished on all leg types by simply using the Dial verb to call the other party.
