- It's certainly possible, but I don't know if the current releases of
- the switch software will do it.
-
- However, the various call forward functions will work across
- prefixes, or across switches if desired. So the subscriber could order
- call forward on busy (or on busy/no answer) and then set whatever form
- of hunt group up that he wanted. This could be done either with
- customer-selected for- warding (the kind usually explained in the
- phone book, where the customer sets the forwarding, or with fixed
- forwarding, where it is set up in the switch and the customer can't
- change it).
-
- Note that your local telco may not know how to sell you these
- services, so you may have to be persistent. One tack that supposedly
- works is that they sell fixed call forwarding as part of "Answer
- Call". Also, if your phone service is measured, you may be able to
- have fixed forwarding at no per-message charge.
