Hunt Group

Hunt Group allows you to distribute phone calls from a single telephone number to a group of up to 10 phone lines. The call will ring according to the order you set up the numbers. When enabled Hunt disables Voicemail, disabled higher order call flow priority features ensuring the nominated hunt group line is always available. Hunt Group has now also been enabled by default on Simultaneous Ring.
