A hunt group is a feature that sends incoming calls to a group of extensions or phone numbers based on a set of rules, so the call is answered as quickly as possible.

Think of it like a queue for ringing phones, but instead of holding callers in a line, the system “hunts” for the next available person to answer.

The virtual switchboard / auto attendant service enables your inbound calls to be routed directly to the relevant department or person, be it in the same office, or to different office locations using just one telephone number for your customers to call.
