[asterisk-users] Suggestions on how to create a hunt or huntlike (rollover, multi-line) group or where to get one?

[Alfred Monticello]

Ideally, I'd like one number that can handle 5 calls or more. The provider I selected only offers 2 channels per number, and if I wanted more I'd have to switch my inbound unlimited plan to a metered plan which would end up costing too much. That's where I got the idea for a main huntgroup number that would go to each of the SIP lines I have that were not busy.

Are there any providers that you or anybody knows of that offers decent rates for additional channels with an unlimited inbound plan?

Thanks.

This is puzzling. I would expect that your
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.
 
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.

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? 
 
Any suggestions would be greatly welcome.
 
Thank you.
