That depends on how desperately you want this. You can put a local
channel in your hunt group. That local channel can dial your gizmo
account and ask you to press 1. If you then don't press 1, it can give
up after say 20 seconds.

If you have your gizmo account set up for voice mail, that will ensure
you have lots of voice mails.
