A telephone hunt group is a telecommunications feature that distributes incoming calls to a group of designated phone extensions. The call is routed to the first available extension in the group and if the first extension is busy or unavailable, the call is routed to the next available extension until the call is answered or all extensions have been tried. Hunt groups can be set up with various configurations and are commonly used in businesses and organizations that receive a high volume of incoming calls to ensure that calls are handled efficiently and effectively.
