We are moving soon, and want our main number to follow us for a while. Answer: call forward. Problem: if our main number gets forwarded, that over-rides the hunt we have. So, if anyone calls any of the other lines in the hunt, which will all be disconnected, they get disconnect notice. If anyone calls the old main number while someone is still being forwarded, they don't hunt, they get busy. So, forward overrides hunt. Forward your first line to the second. This will make all calls come in on second line, but the forward gets handled first, so subsequent calls get busy as first line is busy while forwarding to second. This is what our rep says, haven't tested it yet.
