For use with call transfer circuitry associated with a central office, an automatic transferring system and method for automatically transferring a telephone call from a called party to a subsequent party and a surveying system incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the automatic transferring system includes: (1) a call termination detector that detects termination of the telephone call by the called party and (2) signaling circuitry, associated with the call termination detector and dissociated from the called party, that, in response to the termination, signals the call transfer circuitry to automatically transfer the telephone call to the subsequent party without requiring equipment associated with the called party to cause the transfer.
