Apparently there is a charge for converting to hunting (it used to be
free when we were under Mountain Bell and before the Split - we are
now under Southwestern Bell...).  I converted my lines to hunt (and
dropped call forwarding) after I was told it would be free, and then
got the bill.  I complained and the charges were removed, but only
because it was their mistake for the misinformation by the order
taker, an old-timer...

Note that I said it was a conversion.  The initial installation of
hunting may be free.  The only requirements for hunting at no charge
is that the lines terminate in the same residence even though two
different exchanges may be involved.

It seems that there are few qualified order takers who even know what
hunting is, much less anything else about it, like charges.  I've
always been referred to a specialist who will "call back no later
than" +2 working days...

The best part about hunting is that you get one combined bill and no
monthly additional charge.  (The bill is charged to the first number
in the hunt group, which also means that any other numbers in the
group are automatically unlisted, for free!)
