Business Digital Voice Setting up your Hunt Group
Don t miss a call! With a Hunt Group, a customer will be automatically transferred from line to line until someone at your business answers the phone. Alternatively, you can allow all phones to ring at the same time. Hunt Groups allow a defined group of users to handle incoming calls received by an assigned Hunt Group s phone number. My Account Administrators can choose from any of the hunt schemes, each of which rings the specified phones in a different manner. Hunt Group Example Sal s Pizza has 3 telephones. 556-5555 Customer calls Sal s Pizza (Hunt Group).* Sal s Hunt Group telephone number is 556-5555. Sal wants the telephones to ring Sal then Dan then Mark. When Sal s customer dials the Hunt Group number (556-5555) the Hunt Group is activated. The first phone to ring is Sal s phone. If Sal doesn t pick up after 3 rings, it goes to Dan s phone. If no one on the team picks up, the caller goes to voicemail. Customers can also dial each member s direct TN. Example, a customer can always directly reach Dan by dialing 559-3333. 556-5555 Sal s phone rings If Sal doesn t pick up after 3 rings. 559-3333 Transfer to Dan s phone If Dan doesn t pick up after 3 rings. 559-4444 Transfer to Mark s phone If Mark doesn t pick up after 3 rings.
