Hey,
PSTN is not required so it must be some other issue. I have a similar issue where newly created response groups show as offline but existing ones are fine. I havent figred out why this is but will let you know if I do.
Thanks,

Try to restart Lync Response Group Service when adding a new group. I have experienced that as well.
