- Is it possible for two numbers serviced by the same physical CO to be
- placed on a hunt group even though they has different exchange
- prefixes?
-
- I don't want to have either of my numbers changed since one is my old
- number everyone knows, and the other is a xxx-xx00 number (had to pull
- some strings to get it). When I ordered service and made various
- inquiries, I run into folks who don't know what terms like "POTS line"
- and "demarc" mean, and offered me services excluded by tariff (the
- sales rep initially told me they could offer me a metered line, though
- this is prohibited if you have an unmetered line in the same house).
-
- [ After answering his questions about the various telco terms, he
- asked if there was anything else he should know about the fone system,
- saying that they had obviously not trained enough. I told him he
- should learn all about area code 710, and to keep asking until he
- finds someone who can explain what it is for. (Wish I could be there
- for that :) :) ) ].

- [Moderator's Note: I've never heard of a hunt group including lines on
- different prefixes, even if they were in the same CO. Anyone? PAT]
