In telecommunication, successful block transfer is the transfer of a correct, nonduplicate, user information block between the source user and intended destination user.

Note: Successful block transfer occurs when the last bit of the transferred block crosses the functional interface between the telecommunications system and the intended destination user. Successful block transfer can only occur within a defined maximum block transfer time after initiation of a block transfer attempt. Contrast with successful block delivery.
