Abstract: Methods and arrangements relating to voice hunt group searching techniques are provided for use in various telecommunication systems. The voice hunt group searching techniques allow for a plurality of incoming calls to concurrently attempt call set-ups to members within the voice hunt group. The voice hunt group is defined has having a plurality of members and an associated search order. Incoming calls to the voice hunt group are verified against an access list, and then allowed to attempt call set-ups with the next available member in the voice hunt group. Concurrent call set-ups are enabled through the use of an algorithm that significantly reduces queuing delays for subsequently received calls, and provides for concurrent call set-up processes.
