I think inquired about this feature previously
but here it is again
even better if sim. ring can be scheduled
It's useful for us as the wife would like to get all her calls (in the weekend)

I would prefer a Call Hunt feature. But both would be good.
Time of day scheduling would be icing on the cake.
It is a great feature even for residential.

I wonder if Simul Ring is patented? (Packet8)
Didn't Vonage call it Phone Blast or something?

You could maybe call it Group Ring or Ring List or something else different.

The scheduled times would be very different from what I've seen.

Another once-discussed, but not lately, feature question: Do you intend to offer simultaneous ringing or hunting in the initial launch? If a 'simple' simultaneous ringing option is provided, will you make it 'smart' enough to not ring a number on its list when the incoming call is from that number? (One of the common complaints with the Vonage simul-ring, which I think they've fixed by now, was that if you had simul ring to your cell phone enabled and called in from the cell phone, you'd *ALWAYS* get dumped into your mobile phone's VM, making it impossible to call home when the feature was on. Oops.)

I would still like to see call hunt for VOIPo/Non-VOIPo/SIP-URL numbers also.

That variety of numbers for call hunt or simul-ring would one-up everyone I know of, short of personal asterisk boxes.
