provider would be happy to present multiple calls to you. Maybe you have not
expressed your requirement clearly to them. “Hunting,” in the
classic sense, enables a call to a “pilot” number to be directed to
the next available number in the group if the pilot number is busy. This
implies that there are “lines” that each have a unique “number.”
I wouldn’t think that you actually have “5 SIP lines”; you
apparently have, or want to have, the ability to handle 5 concurrent calls. If
you mean that you have 5 SIP numbers, you probably haven’t established
the service you want.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">All that said, if your provider requires
that each call comes to a different number and you’d like your callers to
dial a single number, we can probably help with that.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have about 5 incoming USA SIP lines, but my provider does not have
any sort of roll-over or huntgroup feature. Does anybody have an idea on how I
can create a general number that will ring to the next available, non-busy SIP
line that I have? Is there a provider out there that would do this? </span></font></p>
