> The Call Forward On Busy does cost YOU money each time you forward a call.
No, that is telco dependent. Most US telco's do not charge for that as long as the forwarded number is a local number. If its not, then LD charges apply. But in some US cities, you are correct that an additional change _might_ apply. > Call hunting group is different from Call forwarding. Yup, that will work as well, however in the US that generally involves a Service Order (and charge), and in some cases will require a telephone number change (depends upon the exact type of central office switch the telco is using).
