Forward calls to Cell Phones - analog to sip lines

[OldSchool70]

Trying to come up with solutions for small company with big ideas. Customer has Essential Edition and Copper/Analog trunks. They want calls to their hunt group members to forward to cell phones. Since they have analog trunks, there is no call progress signaling so calls cannot be recalled. My idea is to have them purchase some SIP Lines from an internet carrier and some Avaya IP Office SIP Trunk Channels to forward the calls. If the calls are forwarded over the SIP Trunks they would have the call progress signaling and the calls could be recalled and routed to the next available remote hunt group member. Does this sound like it will work?

@Oldschool70 I have a setup similar to this. I use Mobile Twinning on each member of the hunt group and selected the 'Hunt Group Calls eligible for mobile twinning' under the Mobility tab for each user that is a member of the hunt group.
I use SIP lines and it works well. You will obviously need enough SIP Trunk Channel Licences to handle the calls as 1 inbound call that twins will then use another sip trunk channel licence to outbound dial the cell/mobile number (2 SIP licences being used for the 1 call) if that makes sense. Hope this helps.

So it sounds like you have SIP lines for inbound and outbound. My scenario has analog lines inbound. I was going to add SIP lines for the outbound/forwarded calls.
