Abstract

A simultaneous hunt group system and method are provided. A call status module notices an incoming call to a simultaneous hunt group and offers the call to a plurality of endpoints. One of the plurality of endpoints answers the call. After the call is answered, a resource allocation module allocates resources for a communications channel, and a call transfer module transfers the caller to the agent that answered the call.
