Good thought, but this was a new call for the first time..
Perhaps Tim will pick up on this and offer an answer..I'm only curious..

What cell phone carrier do you use? I've been seraching for one that does CNAM, not just numbers. I am tired of not knowing who's calling with Verizon.
Typically, the number is associated with a phonebook entry on the handset. I've never seen incoming 'name' on a cell phone call...
It is always the recipient network that needs to do the CNAM lookup, unless very rare circumstances such as network-network call that never leaves to PSTN world, in which case may be handled a bit differently.
So even if the call is originated from [Bob] -> [Joe] -> line 1 + line 2 + PSTN -> Simul Ring Destination #1 (the recipient in this case would be Simul Ring Destination #1's carrier). In which they would need to do a CNAM lookup, but yes we also as well would have done a CNAM lookup for the calling party and would be attached to the call INVITE header for Line 1 + Line 2 delivery.
This being said, I know my Verizon Wireless phone number does not look up from the LIDB database.

So ultimately with Simul Ring, it sounds like the biggest requests have been these:
1) Multiple destinations
2) Press 1 to confirm
3) Call hunting
Right?
That's a great summary.
Is it possible that the "Press 1" option would apply only to a particular Simul Ring number (e.g., all cell phones)? I generally wouldn't want to have to press 1 to accept the call on my regular home number, but that feature is needed for cell phones because when they are off or out of range, the call is immediately picked up by the cell phone voice mail.
I would prefer press 1 to confirm being optional, much like Google Voice.
My preference would put call hunting at the top.
