Hunt Groups

Divert To Two Or More Telephone Numbers

Hunt groups can be set to try two or more numbers in several different ways.

For a small one person business, this could be as simple as trying the office landline first and then to try a mobile number second if the landline is not answered.

For businesses with several staff, it could be set to try each member of staff’s telephone numbers at the same time or one at a time in a particular order.

Divert To Different Telephone Numbers Based On The Day & Time

Hunt groups can be set to divert to different telephone numbers, based on the time and day of the week.

A plumber for example may want to have calls diverted to his office, where his admin worker can take his calls during office hours. However, as the plumber offers an out of hours emergency call out service, the hunt group can be set to divert calls outside of office hours directly to his mobile.

Divert Straight To Voicemail When Closed

Hunt groups can also be set to divert calls to a landline/mobile number during office hours and straight to voicemail when closed.

This is ideal for many people who work from home. Anyone calling when the business is closed, would go straight to voicemail, without the household being disturbed by ringing phones.

The above are just a few commonly used examples of what hunt groups can do for your business.
