They have four DIDs on two POTS lines today?
nah, two POTS, two DIDs... this would be giving them a bit of breathing room by going to four lines (simultaneous calls) and three DIDs (SMB 1, SMB 2, Museum)
Generally the "for cushion" approach is actually to reduce DIDs because DID sprawl can happen so easily and becomes problematic. Any reason they would be looking for more DIDs rather than fewer? There are reasons potentially, of course, but for a normal museum I would expect people to have extensions, not all their own numbers. If I was calling a curator, for example, I would expect to call the museum and select an option or extension, not have to know different numbers for different people.
You're misunderstanding.
The two lines are for the following:
Jack's boot shop = line 1
Jay's column writing ship = line 2There is no desire to confuse the situation or merge the use of lines 1 and 2 with a totally new purpose for the museum, hence the need for a third DID.
Sorry. So this is a third, new business?

He said right here that they only need two. The extra one is the cushion, I thought.
the cushion is in the SIP trunks, moving from being able to make two simultaneous calls to four .

New to having a phone number, yes.

Okay, that makes more sense.
