[Asterisk-Users] IAX DID channels as incoming hunt group?

[Colin Anderson]

no from the Asterisk perspective it will work regardless of the number
dialled as long as it matches the 55512XX pattern. As  others have pointed
out though, it's just easier to have a single DID and your provider allow
multiple channels or instances of the same number to hit your box. 

it's hard sometimes to let go of concepts from the legacy PBX world when you
try to integrate their equivalent in Asterisk. For example, I still enforce
the "dial 9 to get an outside line" in my setups even though there is no
technical reason for doing do. The reason is because people can't deal with
dialling direct and it becomes a training issue. The other one that always
makes me laugh is people depressing the hookswitch to flip between calls
even though they have line indicator buttons right there, flashing on their
phone. Fortunately Snom phones allow this functionality.

That only works if the caller has dialled one of the other numbers.

If we only publish one number (555 1212), what then?
