Techniques for transfer error recovery

An article comprising a storage medium containing instructions that if executed enable a system to:

• record context information for a call session with a call terminal;
• store the context information with a context identifier;
• generate transfer error context information having the context identifier, a first transfer error context header with a resource identifier, and a set of error codes;
• send the transfer error context information to the call terminal for use in a transfer failure event;
• and
• transfer the call terminal to another call terminal.

A system, comprising:

• a context generator module operative to record context information for a first call session between a first call terminal and a call system resource, and store the context information with a context identifier in a context table;
• a transfer error context module to couple to the context generator module, the transfer error context module operative to generate transfer error context information having the context identifier, a first transfer error context header with a resource identifier, and a set of error codes;
• and
• a call transfer module to couple to the transfer error context module, the call transfer module operative to send the transfer error context information to the first call terminal for use in case of a transfer failure event.
