    Is it possible in Lync 2013 to share a DDI with two users? IE tel:+44207555555;ext=1234 & tel:+44207555555;ext=1233 for each user (as you can see different extensions). Id like the DID to be the same for both users so that when the number is dialled from the PSTN to Lync both users are called. Ideally i don't want to make any modifications on the upstream gateway to enable this.

    Hi,

    Using the same DID number and different extension for the two users, they initiate calls to PSTN no prblem, but they can't receive the calls from PSTN. So you'd better assign the unique DID number for the two users, and set simultaneous ring for them that one number is dialed from the PSTN and two users are ringing.

    HI ,

    No i don't want a response group. I want both users to share the same DID but with different extentions.

    Thanks Sean. I suspected that was the case as this is the behavior i'm seeing in Lync as calls from the PSTN are being rejected for users with the same DID. Its a shame Lync doesn't have this flexbility as most PBX's do. But alas Lync isn't a PBX :-)
