Office Communications Server Team explained why simultaneous ringing is not applied for Response Group calls.
In this post we will explain why it’s important to not ring the user’s additional number for Response Group calls, and how that is accomplished.

Doing so means there is a chance that the call can end up on a voice mail system (for example, the voice mail of the user’s cell phone).
